Some days are just filled with happy dance surprises. Today was one of those days. I was online researching a distant relative when I stumbled across the website of the Dodge/Jefferson County Genealogy Society.
One of my burning genealogy questions is where did my grandmother teach? My father knew she was a teacher before she married his father, but he did not know where she taught. We knew it was probably Dodge county. BINGO! The Dodge/Jefferson County Genealogy Society has an ebook up on their website on the one room schoolhouses of Dodge county. I found my grandmother (and other relatives) in this book.

At the top of the page you will see the link to the ebook, "One Room Schoolhouse of Dodge County." There are maps and even pictures of the schoolhouses and some of the teachers and students. I'm going to spend hours with this resource! A giant thank you to the Dodge/Jefferson County Genealogy Society for putting this reference up on the web.
