They do not have that many Wisconsin names. They take the names from family histories that were sent to them. I have many Wisconsin obituaries and not one of those names were on the Ancestry list. Family Tree Maker does the same thing. They accept your family histories and put them on CD's and sell that same information. vickie > > > > > > > ==== GenWisconsin Mailing List ==== > >
