    3. Dear Researchers, I just received this announcement, and thought it would interest quite a few. Hope it helps! Roxanne ListHostess Friends, We wanted to let you know that 10,000 more pages of Wisconsin genealogy and history are now available to you at HYPERLINK "http://www.wisconsinhistory.org"www.wisconsinhistory.org. Earlier this fall we published a digital version of the 20-volume set called "Wisconsin Historical Collections." It was published between 1855 and 1915 in order to share the most important archival collections that the Wisconsin Historical Society was collecting. Of particular interest to genealogists are the following lists and registers: "The Territorial Census for 1836 [complete list]" (HYPERLINK "http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/u?/whc,5850"http://content.wisconsinhis tory.org/u?/whc,5850) "The Population of Brown County, June 1830" (HYPERLINK "http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/u?/whc,6073"http://content.wisconsinhis tory.org/u?/whc,6073) "Register of Baptisms at Mackinac, 1695-1821" (HYPERLINK "http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/u?/whc,10797"http://content.wisconsinhi story.org/u?/whc,10797) "Register of Marriages at Mackinac, 1725-1821" (HYPERLINK "http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/u?/whc,10083"http://content.wisconsinhi story.org/u?/whc,10083) "Register of Interments at Mackinac, 1743-1806" (HYPERLINK "http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/u?/whc,10952"http://content.wisconsinhi story.org/u?/whc,10952) WHC also contains hundreds of pioneer recollections, obituaries, and biographical sketches, as well as printing all the most important documents on early Wisconsin history from French, Canadian, British and American archives. If you have 19th-century Wisconsin ancestors, it’s definitely worth a look. You can do a keyword search on the entire text, but our librarians also cataloged every article so you can find the best ones dealing with any specific person, county, place, or topic. The original massively detailed index to the set, which traces every mention of every name anywhere in the 10,000 pages, is also online (at HYPERLINK "http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/u?/whc,11374"http://content.wisconsinhi story.org/u?/whc,11374) Don't forget to also check our index to more than 2 million Wisconsin births, marriages and deaths (at HYPERLINK "http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords/"www.wisconsinhistory.org/vita lrecords/) and our general Wisconsin Name Index to 150,000 biographies that were printed in 1,500 different sources (HYPERLINK "http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni/"www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni/). We continue to improve and expand these indexes on a daily basis. Sincerely, Margaret Sracic Wisconsin Genealogical Research Service Wisconsin Historical Society P.S.
