ALTO TOWNSHIP
Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin
The records were hand written and in some cases are open to interpretation. Records that are particularly difficult to read are given an (?) marker. An attempt is made to record entries as written, even when it is apparently in error. Entries are offered in the order in which they were recorded, because the census-taking sequence can provide clues about where families actually lived (for an illustration, see Fairwater 1853). Names with hyperlinks have associated commentaries on the Alto errata and genealogical information page.
