You always knew in a small town everyone was related to everyone else. The connections make the basis of The Waitsburg Family. Who was who? Who did they marry? Maybe the answer is here. The development of a small town seen through the individual connections of its first fifty years. The forceful removal of the Native American population by the American government of 1858 left a territory open for homesteading.
