Are we talking about the same state here? A couple years ago I made an appointment and drove to Madison, Wisconsin, to the vital records office. The clerk helping me explained everything most especially how to take the microfilm over to the copy machine to do a copy from the microfilm that I could take home. In Wisconsin. Is this the state you meant to write in your posting? Because the clerk was very, very helpful about every other part of the process too. I looked up family and friends of the family and got lots of genealogy information cleared up the two times I went. The copies from microfilm cost about 25 cents. If Wisconsin is in fact what you meant to write in your posting, I'm sorry your own experience wasn't cheap and helpful.

Is there someone in Madison, for instance, that makes copies from microfilm? I have several certificates that I would love to order, but the cost is so prohibitive. Any ideas? Sincerely, Katherine Bellingham, WA *************************** I am in the same boat... the only thing that I have heard is if you can get some one from the list that is going there themselves to look something up for you... or pay a genealogist which would not be cheaper than just ordering the thing.. Wisconsin does not allow you to make copies, take pictures or even be in there with out an appointment... I haven't dealt with a lot of states, but they for sure are one of the least "user freinly" ones that I have dealt with... I was in the records in Milwaukee. No place to sit down, no clock, and a good yelling at if you go over your time... Iris
