I have never been that far north. As the story goes, my grandfather and his brothers were all from Coplay, PA. Each one left, one to Tomah, Wisconson, one to Williamsburg, Virginia, and one (my grandfather) to Philadelphia, Mississippi. The brothers never returned to PA (except to attend their mother's funeral). So, my dad's first cousin and their kiddos are all still up there.

Uncle Sylvester met his bride in LaCrosse.

We could be distant relatives, then :) Once you get north of Tomah or so I'm related to about half the people in the state :)

Could be. My aunt's (maiden) name was Frances Holberg. She passed away in 1984. I don't think I ever met her, though.
