I just got my newsletter from the Wisconsin Historical Society, and learned that they are posting on their internet site 41,000 local history stories from between 1870 (or 1860 according to the website) and 1940. To reach this visit: http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/wlhba/index.asp They also offer the chance to order _on-line_ copies of birth, marriage and death certificates. To reach this visit: http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/genealogy/ogrs/index.html This website already offers the rosters of Wisconsin vets of the Civil War (War of the Rebellion) on-line.
