Rhinelander Volunteer: "It's for the sake of genealogy"

Link to May 8 Rhinelander Daily News article, "Local woman shares passion for genealogy".

Excerpt: Genealogy is one thing, but how do you keep track of the leg of Chaz Quade? Sue Swanson is interested in both genealogy and the leg, but one story at a time.

“I’ve been working on genealogy for the past 30 years,” said Swanson. “I had approached former Rhinelander Library Director Kris Adams Wendt and asked her about ideas for projects to put on the Internet. I started doing city directories. 1904 was the first one. I did those for a while. Then I transcribed ‘The History of Oneida, Vilas and Lincoln Counties.’ One half of those books are biographies. I transcribed them and put them on the web.”
