NEW DIGGINGS IS AN OLD DIGGINGS |
I would like to Thank Margaret S. Carter's Children for granting permission for this publication to be placed on the USGenWeb's Lafayette County Homepage. It is a great book and one I think you will enjoy reading. Mrs. Margaret Carter has done a wonderful service to each and everyone of us by putting into words what the People, Place, and Times where like when our ancestors lived in Lafayette County, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas.
