Book excerpt: The first title in this group is a unique gem for genealogical researchers. Record of the Pioneers of Outagamie County is a wonderful collection of information, often including photos, about the individuals and families who lived in Outagamie County in 1898. The introduction explains how this book came to be, and how it grew to include "over 1200 names, including the children of the pioneers." The record was intended to be useful "in settling estates, as many people are very neglectful in keeping their family records." An earlier edition provides biographical sketches of about 100 of the earliest settlers of the county, their families, their children, and their grand-children, as well as the records of the Pioneer Association from 1875 to 1895. As land ownership records are also useful tools for genealogical research, this collection includes four Outagamie County plat books representing dates from 1889 to 1942. Some indexes are included within the plat books themselves, while a separate name index to the 1889 Outagamie plat book is available at the Appleton Public Library. City Directories for the area include the years 1887-88, 1889-90, 1891-92, 1893-94 and 1925. The last one, 1925, is important because it is the year the address system was changed so it connects the "old" and the "new" address. Two narrative histories of the area are also included: Land of the Fox, Saga of Outagamie County and Commemorative Biographical Record of the Fox River Valley Counties of Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago.
