Summer has wound down and autumn is upon us in all her glory!
Several researchers have emailed me about their research trips to
Allamakee county over the summer. Many of them mentioned that
information they found on the Allamakee co. IAGenWeb site was
instrumental in guiding their research. A representative of the
United States State Department found his way to Allamakee co.
IAGenWeb! He requested a copy of the photo of John R. Mott for
use on a website being put together about Nobel Peace Prize
winners. I also received many thank-you emails, but unfortunately
had a 'senior moment' and somehow deleted all but the three notes
below. These, and all of the lost thank-you's belong to the
generous contributors to this website. ...... Sharyl Ferrall,
