Historical Atlas of Wisconsin

Legg inn av Robert Heiling » 30 mar 2005 17:40:48

If anybody happens to own a copy of the CD "Historical Atlas of
Wisconsin" with 1878 vintage maps, I would appreciate a lookup. Some of
the families that I'm researching were located in Dodge County just
north of Watertown in Emmet, Clyman, & Lowell. I'd be interested in
seeing if their farms were labelled on any maps.

Can't help you on the lookup, but I'm about 8 miles from Watertown.
If you need any pictures taken or that sort of thing, let me know.

Bob,

I, too, don't have what you are requesting.

The other day I was researching Green Lake county, WI, 1878

I found this. Perhaps this person has a map for Dodge county as well.
Just delete the last part of the address perhaps.

Many thanks for the offer, but I've already spent quite a bit of time in
the area
on my various genealogy excursions. The problem is that I wouldn't know
where to
tell you to look, but those maps might tell me.

For example, http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/wi ... _city.html
shows one
area and the farm owners' names. A brother of my ggf Heiling was in
Lowell in 1870
and had moved to Emmet by 1880. Another brother was in Clyman from 1872
onwards. I
could pop for the CD only to discover - poof! - that they weren't on it!
$70
is a bit steep for 2 map images anyhow, so I'm hoping that someone who
has gotten
more use out of the CD than I can is listening.

Thanks, but his prices are even higher than the $69.95 that I'm too cheap to
put on the table for a spin of the wheel.<g>

And you never called me? Next time you're around, let me know you're
coming. We'll have a good home-cooked meal for ya.

Friend of mine is the registrar of deeds in Jefferson county, which is
one to the south. I'll ask him if he has any info on Dodge; seems to
me they used to be one county (by the way. They used to be one county,
so if you can't find Dodge in the years you're looking, check Jefferson
county for those years).

For example, http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/wi ... _city.html

Have you checked the Bureau of Land Management's land patents site?
If they were the homesteaders, it'd be outlined there. Searchable and
online, I can scare up the URL if you can't.

Someone has got to have the dead-tree edition. I'll drop Larry a note
and ask him; do you have a close-ish description I could ask him to look
for, and a year?

Last visit was ~10 yrs ago and we didn't know each other at the time. :-)

Jefferson was created in 1836, my people arrived in 1865, and the CD is 1878, so that
isn't an issue. but deeds would be too much, just an image as in the example from the
CD.

For example, http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/wi ... _city.html
shows one
area and the farm owners' names. A brother of my ggf Heiling was in
Lowell in 1870
and had moved to Emmet by 1880. Another brother was in Clyman from 1872

I think they were too late for those as the ones I've seen are circa 1849-50. I was
told that Frank bought his farm in 1872.(Clyman)

$70
is a bit steep for 2 map images anyhow, so I'm hoping that someone who

The makers of the CD must have been photographing existing maps, but please don't go
to all that effort The advertisement for that CD in s.g.marketplace yesterday:
http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/wi ... index.html reminded me of the maps
that it has and I thought they would be nice to have as a sort of window-dressing.
They aren't essential like a birth or marriage record would be to establish a
relationship and I have that info. The help is appreciated, but perhaps someone who
has the CD will show up in the near future.

Back last May when I first started hunting for my MacLaughlan ancestors,
whom I'd been told were from Wisconsin, I happened upon a passel of
McLaughlin/MacLaughlans in Watertown. I was enjoying reading up on this
history of the town, hoping to find family there.

Finding out that my grandfather was a Petersen, not a MacLaughlan, was a
bit of a downer, but at least I had Petersens in Brookfield if not
MacLaughlans in Watertown, so there's *some* Wisconsin connection.

saki
