Researchers included Pat Snodgrass, Brenda Malone, Darryl Sannes, Marijane Tessman & William Hoffman.
In 2006 and 2007, volunteers devoted hundreds of hours to research the people and circumstances of this important endeavor.  The lives of scores of people were studied in an effort that used genealogy, history, maps and other records to gain a better understanding and an enhanced appreciation of this important part of our past.
