There are presently 5,200 WI biographies posted at the WIGenExchange, and thousands more coming. These aren't famous people, but ordinary folks like many of our ancestors were. There's Archibald McVICAR, who sold agricultural implements in Eau Claire; Alonzo D. MAES, who was a pattern maker in a lumber mill, at one time a body guard for President Lincoln; Andrew HIBGY, who sold insurance in Sheboygan; Ernst FUECHSEL, who made and sold cakes and bread in Menasha; Casper MILLER, who manufactured wagons in Kewaunee; blacksmiths, farmers, brewers, flour mill workers, teachers, store clerks, lumberjacks, etc. Hundreds of biographies are currently available for 12 WI counties, with 8 more counties well under way. We won't stop posting until all the counties are done and we run out of material! So stop by see if your ancestor is already included! http://www.genexchange.org/bioreg.cfm?state=wi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WIGenExchange http://www.genexchange.org/state.cfm?state=wi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Help Keep Genealogy Free For Online Genealogists http://www.genexchange.org/volunteers.cfm ----------------------------- USGenExchange (select a state) http://www.genexchange.org/us.cfm
