La Crosse Area Genealogical Society
Name Index to "The History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin," 1881
Compiled by Marcella Averkamp.
If you have any questions, please contact the Archives Desk at the La Crosse Public Library.
Indexing for the "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin" begins with page 309, where the actual county section begins. Every name is indexed exactly as it appears, without regard to misspellings or variants. If information covers two or more consecutive pages, only the first page will be indexed, e. g., 438ff.
Users of this index are cautioned to try variant spellings even where a correct spelling is located. Individual names occur throughout the book sometimes hundreds of pages apart, and with great variations in spellings.
