Check out the new on-line index at the Wisconsin Historical Society http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni/index.asp http://www.wisconsinhistory.org see FAQ's http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni/faq.asp 1. What sources are indexed? More than 1500 publications were indexed by Wisconsin Historical Society librarians between 1870 and 1970. These included 150 county and local histories, dozens of professional directories and biographical encyclopedias, more than 60 scrapbooks containing 30,000 obituaries, and selected articles in Wisconsin magazines and newspapers. It combines the old card file you probably knew as the Wisconsin Necrology with newly added material and it's now a on-line index.
