Abstract:
The collection contains the personal papers of Dorothy Plautz of Greenfield, Wisconsin, a genealogist and writer. The majority of the collection consists of photographs and materials from scrapbooks compiled by Dorothy Plautz. She began assembling the scrapbooks around the time she met and married her second husband, Alan Brunka. The scrapbooks capture daily and special family events, such as hospital stays and vacations. Plautz continued gathering items that tell the story of her life and her family's throughout her divorce from Brunka, marriage to Paul Ogrizovich, his death, and subsequent marriage to John Plautz. The collection also includes short stories and family histories written by Plautz.
