here to find out what's new at the
Forest
County WIGenWeb Project.
This
project is a work in progress.
If you
have something pertaining to Forest County Genealogy that you would like
to share, this is a great
place
to do it. It will be appreciated by innumerable folks and you will
receive credit for you generosity.
Also,
please keep in mind that I am a volunteer and this is my hobby. My
only compensation is the gratification
I get
by helping others. So if you donate something, and don't see it posted
immediately, bear with me. I have a life
outside
of the web. Most importantly, take advantage of what is here for you to
use and enjoy. That is what this is
all
about. Comments, questions, and offerings may be directed to Theresa.
FOREST
COUNTY AKA LITTLE KENTUCKY
In
the 1800's men were hired in the hills and hallows of eastern Kentucky
to go by train to Forest County
in
northern Wisconsin to work the logging camps. Hundreds went. The men found
the land during the
spring/summer
months to be much like their home state. Many stayed and found land to
bring their parents/wives/children to live. Because of these men and their
families there is an annual Kentuck Day's
Festival
in Crandon, Wisconsin in mid July. Did your family came from Kentucky?
