I have never been to the court house in Milwaukee but I'm sure that each county court house has it's own rules. The court houses I have visited in Wisconsin have been very helpful. I would imagine that Milwaukee being a large city would have to be stricter with their rules to maintain some order.

I'm the county coordinator for Ozaukee Co in Wisconsin with a website at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiozauke/ Most counties have a list of volunteers as part of their sites who will do lookups at the courthouse - this is something I do here. While you can't get a photocopy of the records, the volunteer will have access to the records and be able to handcopy the information and email them to you. Another site containing many volunteers is: http://www.raogk.org/ I know Milwaukee has strict rules - think you have to sign up way in advance of your visit and know the dates of the birth/marriage/deaths you are looking for, but here at least, there is an alphabetical index which makes searching much easier.

I agree. We went to the courthouse in Bonduel, WI and got what we wanted very easily. We did know what we were looking for. They let us look at the books ourselves.
