When we first began researching the families who immigrated to Waupaca County, we spent many hours checking the various vital record indexes at the Waupaca County Courthouse. We followed up by reading the actual records for births, marriages and deaths and copying the relevant information. The indexes for land records were also available in the same room.
However, there was one surprising book that we discovered accidentally. During the second decade of the 1900s the local farmers began recording a name for their farms. It was quite interesting to see that the Smiths and Rowes registered the names "White Star Stock Farm" and "Elm Valley Farm" at the courthouse to make them official.
