http://www.uwm.edu/Library/arch/findaids/micro70.htm SCOPE AND CONTENT: The Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU) and the Wisconsin Historical Society have cooperated in a project to borrow and film Wisconsin church and cemetery records of interest to genealogists. The church records typically contain registers of baptisms, confirmations, marriages, funerals, church membership, and occasionally church constitutions, histories, and minutes. Cemetery records list burials and lot owners. A wide range of Christian denominations are included. The records are indexed by church or cemetery name, location, and denomination. The Golda Meir Library staff will research and copy thing for you, for a charge, of course.
