I can't find the details on the following-free or otherwise; "In January 2003, Mr. Gold, together with Michael Fox, tried a federal age discrimination lawsuit, in the Western District of Wisconsin entitled Robert Hohert vs. Weir Slurry Group, which resulted in a $432,000 jury verdict for lost back wages and willful ADEA violations. Mr. Hohert also recovered statutory attorney's fees and lost front pay as of the overall post-trial settlement."

Cancel that card... they will issue you a new number... but it is a lot easier to do BEFORE all the charges are made. If they are a legitimate company, they will get back to you on that card being canceled.

If you are nervous about making a purchase from a vendor you don't know, it's possible to get a one day credit card number from your usual credit card. It's handy for a web purchase especially, when you don't know if the vendor has a credit history, or if they even have a street address or storefront real - space retail establishment, or feel uncomfortable yourself letting a stranger have access to your credit. John, you can always call your credit card company to ask if anything is known about the site http://www.wiwd.uscourts.gov/ I just tried accessing it and got a message saying currently unavailable. Perhaps call and ask if it's possible to cancel the transaction as they aren't performing the service you paid for. Also, in paying for things online, E-Bay uses Pay Pal, and it can be used by other sites as well. More secure by repute than giving up your own credit info.

Hi Sue, It depends on the county as to where the records may be. Some counties keep their records in off-site storage, making an appointment necessary to be able to see them. Winnebago has released divorce records to the Oshkosh Public Library - some may be kept in the archived of the Area Research Centers - like Brown County and Oconto County at Cofrin Library, Green Bay. Not to say that the state doesn't have copies. These just happen to be places I have found records. I believe that the year when records can be removed from the courts 'files' varies with the kind of case. Where they may have been traditionally destroyed after 75 years, the courthouse (I believe) is now required to first offer them to local genealogical or historical organizations. So you may even have luck in some places and time periods, looking for what a local historical society has in its archives. Without knowing the county, you will be spending more time hunting. LDS does have a microfiche that has some divorce index records for Wisconsin. I am not sure if it goes back that far, though. Good Luck!

Thanks Ashley, I'm not worried at all about someone misusing my credit card. Someone else brought that up. I just want access to the site to get some information.

About an hour ago the site worked briefly. They have a contact address. I filled out a form asking when my application would be processed but I couldn't send the e mail-the page cannot be displayed again. It is an official government/court site they wouldn't dare scam me. I think (hope) they are just having computer problems.

The circuit court records are NOT Vital records, as in Birth, Death & Marriage. Circuit court records are misdemeanors, etc.

Yes, in Wisconsin our vital records, birth, death, marriage, divorce, adoption are all kept at the county level. I believe there are copies at the State level also, but, always check the county 1st. Rosemarie in Wisconsin.

They haven't put anything on my charge card-so far. They weren't supposed to. They wanted my charge card number just to prove I was serious or something. They were then supposed to snail mail me an access code so I could check out the Wisconsin Court site. I'm beginning to despair that I'll ever find the court case I'm looking for.

Not sure on the county. I the marriage application for my grandparents, my grandfather only says that he was married before and that it ended in divorce in Wisconsin. The reason stated was cruelty.

Holly, Thanks for posting that site. I found a couple of interesting things there. About 2 weeks ago I posted here asking about finding a Court case in Wisconsin. Someone suggested I try this site; http://www.wiwd.uscourts.gov/ I signed up to this site about 10 days ago, gave them my charge card number and all my details and never heard back from them. For the last 5 days this site isn't working. Has anyone else been successful with it? I'm still trying to find the court case. It isn't on the site that Holly gave.
