The Life and Times of John Lyttle, Early La Crosse County Lumberman, by Jeanne Dahlin Swick, 2011

Little / Lyttle / Lytle Family ... and related families including the Haneys of the Lansing area.

John Lyttle was born 1822 in Upper Canada, died 1893 at Midway, La Crosse County, WI. He married (5) times and had 18 children. All of his wives, children & grandchildren and most of their extended families are in this book. It is 660 pages with over 400 photographs and is extensively sourced. I printed 91 copies for family, and there are none left; however, I am happy to provide anyone interested with a .pdf document of whatever section of the book they might be interested in. I am also happy to answer any genealogical questions related to this family.

Two of John Lyttle's sons: John Oscar Lytle (m. Cora Battles) and Charles Lytle (m. Alice Haney) had connections to the Lansing area. The book details these families. Also, the book has a fairly substantial history of the Haney family, going back to the 1700's.

Please put "look up request" and the name of the book in the subject line of any requests.

"Post" database with 8200 names. Over the past couple years I read vital records microfilm for Allamakee county. When I came to a Postville or Post Twp record, I recorded it on paper. If I could tie into other records, such as census records, it went into my database. I'm almost done with the last of the birth record films. I'm up to 1918 and the film goes through 1935.
