Paul Messenger Lewis is my great-uncle, by marriage, and I have inherited some of his things including a lithograph of Nathan R. Lewis residence, the same one. Do you know of the relationship between Nathan and Paul?

Elizabeth, Nathan R Lewis is my great great grandfather. I have the lithograph also and over 30 years ago went and took a picture of the barn and house which burned downed and was recontructed. I am in the process of working on the geneology and will share anything I come up with. Have not come across Paul.

Where was this school in Fond du lac, Wi as far as the street and how long did it service the fond du lac area

Dan, My research has drawn a blank, so I contacted Sally Albertz the President of the Fond du Lac County Historical Society and she said she would try to answer your question if you email her directly at the following address: fchs AT dotnet.com Replace the AT with the @ symbol. Good luck with your research.

excellent map source

Definitive evidence that Spain explored as far north as Mendocino in North America by 1652- Contrary to public opinion.

There was a charming illustrated series of these books showing all the main valleys and towns of Northern California. There is one on Napa in the private collection of Magnus Hienzsch of Winters, CA. One of Sonoma is on display at the Vallejo State Park in the old barn in Sonoma, CA.

On some of the properties is a little drawn box with circles in it...what does that mean?

If you look on the key found here: http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/58233/ it looks like they could be orchards.

How might I get a copy of this one? I need to help me find out where the Jacob Hoffman Family lived (T15N R4W Sec. 36)

I am serching for a towm in Missouri called Fordland. My desendents were buiried in Fordland Missouri cemetry in the early 1900 under the name Stinnett. I do not know the county either. If you could please help me with this I would be greatful.

Fordland is a city in Webster County, MO. Unfortunately at this time we do not have a Webster County atlas. Checking the MO state atlas might yield some results. Our collection grows continually, so please check back.

Hi,i was wondering what the value of the original map would be .I have had one in my family formally of waltham,Mass since i can remember and it is identicle with no damage.My email is anthony.dennison@yahoo.com

Greetings - one plate - #10 - which shows the location of Yankee Stadium - does not appear to be available on the website. Was it intentionally left out? If so, is it still possible to view or to purchase? Thanks, Ray Segal Full Title: Plate 014 Full Atlas Title: Bronx Lower Vol 1 1942 Country/Location: United States Continent/Location: North America Publish Date: 1942 Publisher: G. W. Bromley & Co. Number Maps in the Atlas: 41

Plate 10 is missing from original atlas

Unfortunately, as IT Admin pointed out, that plate is missing from the original 1942 atlas - most likely it is hanging on someones wall. However, we do have other property owner maps which show that area. You can see a list of these by doing an address search for the following modern address: E 161st St & River Ave Bronx, NY My favorite is one from 1928 which can be found here: http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/69582/Address/Plate+020+-+Section+9%2C+Yankee+Stadium/40.827970/-73.925829/E+161st+St+%26+River+Ave/Bronx/NY/ or by searching by the map item number: US69582 I like that map because it is from the same year that the iconic picture of Babe Ruth at bat was snapped... (do a websearch for "Babe Ruth at Bat 1928" for the image) Good luck with the research,
