Hello Judy Can you make me a list of the names and birth dates if you have them for the people you want looked up in Juneau. They have index books for birth, male and female marriage and deaths. They start in about 1877 (the courthouse burned down in 1875) and go to 2007. Dates only make the process of looking for the names go faster. If you know about when an event happened that would help. From the index book I can go to the actual certificate in another book for the information. I had one of my relatives go to Dubuque IA to be married in about the same time period, now I know why. Wauwatosa is in Milwaukee County. If you have names with the correct date I can verify that it is correct and this way you will have a correct source. You don't happen to know any Miescke's, my uncle and his family lived in Aurora. I think it is a suburb of Denver.
