It seems like some people are migrated from in the early 50s and this is why there may have a time to calculation but you map helps in there.Ralph C.

Dane...Sounds like a good plan to visit Dane County. Dane is actually adjacent to Dodge County in the northwest corner of the county. In the Town of York (which is what would be known as York township in most of the country).<br /><br />As for maps, I've found that USGS topo's are the best way to see townships and sections. I use a freeware program called USA photomaps to look at topos, which take a little to get used to. You can use google maps to look at USGS topos if you access it via <a href="http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/" rel="nofollow">USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</a>. The topos show the township names and the section lines as well as the section numbers if you zoom in all the way. <br /><br /><a href="http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gazpublic/getgooglemap?p_lat=43.0669429&p_longi=-89.0740006&fid=1583061" rel="nofollow">Here is the link to the Town of Deerfield</a> zoom in quite a bit then click "Topo" to see the lines.<br /><br />Good luck on your trip.RBrass189https://www.blogger.com/profile/14585077041669643915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-62666561725904658972011-08-31T14:33:14.362-07:002011-08-31T14:33:14.362-07:00much oblidgedmuch oblidgedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850497982348789390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-28674286211411517142011-08-31T14:13:12.767-07:002011-08-31T14:13:12.767-07:00Tim, the Ancestry database is U.S., Indexed County...Tim, the Ancestry database is U.S., Indexed County Land Ownership Maps, 1860-1918 (http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1127).<br /><br />They're great!<br /><br />I just search Wisconsin Maps and find this.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-74563783653900339202011-08-31T13:48:08.175-07:002011-08-31T13:48:08.175-07:00My ancestors apparently lived in Stoughton as well...My ancestors apparently lived in Stoughton as well as Dunkirk. Is there an easy way to find those plat maps on Ancestry.com? I am curious if any of the family is still listed in Dunkirk in 1873, assuming that that plat map is available. I've found Illinois plat maps in the past, but forget now exactly where they are located.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850497982348789390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-12697463234543780082011-08-31T13:33:58.665-07:002011-08-31T13:33:58.665-07:00Hi Tim,

Perhaps this is the right town?<br />http://www.townofdunkirk.com/<br /><br />One of the web pages has a wonderful map. <br />http://www.townofdunkirk.com/about.htm<br /><br />The address of the town, from the website, is below<br /><br />Town of Dunkirk <br />654 County Road N<br />Stoughton, WI 53589<br /><br />I'd have to double check, but believe the place Stoughton is among those in my database.GeneJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627640410669978708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-363245463827754092011-08-31T12:05:18.998-07:002011-08-31T12:05:18.998-07:00My ancestor died in the town of Dunkirk in 1867. ...My ancestor died in the town of Dunkirk in 1867.
