Look Ups From SELECTED Books
done in the past by Mary Beth
As with all previously gathered genealogy and family history information, it is important to verify the findings from any source by sending for copies of the original documents before adding them to your research.

We are not able to take new requests at this time.

Look Ups Were Done From The Following Resources:
*A History of Oconto
 by George Hall
Contains the original history written by his grandfather, Richard Hall, in 1879 and works from there into the mid 1900's. This book is no longer in print and difficult to find in libraries. It is also not indexed so that
makes the offer to look up families even more special. This book is a good family history resource of
the county.

*Bicentennial Recollections of Oconto County
