MONROE — The Green County Genealogical Society will present “Genealogical Sources for Soldiers in the Black Hawk War” by Dr. Patrick Jung at 10 a.m. on Nov. 7 at the Monroe Public Library’s community room on the second floor. The program is open to the public.

The Black Hawk War was fought in the Spring and Summer of 1832 in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

Many people in Green County likely have ancestors who fought in the Black Hawk War. Most volunteers fought in state or territorial militiamen, and the government kept rosters of these during and after the war. This talk will examine the main sources genealogists can easily access to research ancestors who served in the conflict.

Dr. Jung is a professor of history and anthropology at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. He received his doctoral degree in United States history from Marquette University in 1997 and has written extensively and conducted research on Indian-White relations in the North American Great Lakes region. He has also researched and published extensively on German art history, particularly German industrial art from 1875 to the present and German art during the Nazi era from 1933 to 1945.

For any questions about the meeting or presentation, call Donna at 608-921-1537.
