I have several certificates that I would love to order, but the cost is so prohibitive. Any ideas? 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
