Nothing has been assumed when extracting the names from this atlas. Therefore, J. J. Smith and John J. Smith may be the same person, but will be treated as separate entities. Likewise, no assumptions have been made regarding the spelling of names. It is suggested that you search under any possible spellings. Consider not only what sounds similar, but also how letters may have appeared similar when written. Also note that multiple sections owned by a landowner are separated with a forward slash (/).
If you find a surname which looks to be related to your search, it is suggested that you follow-up your research at other sources in the county. The Barron County Courthouse, the Rice Lake Public Library, the LDS Family History Center and, during the summer months, the Barron County Historical Museum may each help you to further your research.
