Here's a brief overview of what's new at the Marinette County WIGenWeb site
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimarine
* Seven (7) generations of the Brault family (first European settlers in
the Coleman area).
* Link to historical information on Marinette County railroads.
* Link to neighboring Dickinson County, MI (In addition to the obvious
link to Menominee, Michigan right across the river, lots of people with
roots in Marinette find they also have folks in Kingsford, Iron Mountain,
Quinessec and/or Norway.)
* By request (thanks, Barb!) -- Current county road map for visiting
researchers and tourists. (This is a BEAUTIFUL map, courtesy of
Wisconline®.)
Coming Soon:
* More family lineages (Bourgeois, Durocher/Desrochers, Rocheleau).
* Brief history of Menekaune (East Marinette, sometimes called
"Fishtown").
* Peshtigo Times obituary index (this will be an ongoing project).
* List of miscellaneous geographic place names -- useful finding aid for
family who lived in "unpopulated" areas of the county.
