Maybe others were confused by my message also, as the No, I was referring to the message concerning the Wisconsin vital records at this URL : <http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/gen/wi/_vitals/wide59_t.htm> You can search without clicking on the "Free 14 day" box. I am wondering if the Genealogy. com part is some paid advertising which you can ignore. It actually leads you to this URL: <http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/gen/wi/_vitals/wideathm-go.htm> which is a free search site. Just follow the directions I gave to find the vital record data. It is not a microfilm of the exact copy, but is an index on microfiche. Hope this helps. -- "There's a crack in everything and that's how the light gets in." --Leonard Cohen > From: "Wendy Wright-Cao" <wesowc@comcast.net> > Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 07:55:34 -0500 > To: "Ruth M.F.
