We are in the process of making these indexes available on the web. Currently, technical difficulties have delayed this project and we are in the process of working out the bugs. Due to the high demand for these indexes, we will provide a surname look-up service for you until these indexes are on the web. Therefore, if you want to know if your family is featured in the Sparta or Tomah Newspaper indexes: 1) email us (mclhr@centurytel.net) with a surname or list of surnames 2) we will email you any entries from the Sparta and Tomah newspaper indexes in which your surnames appear, along with information on how to obtain the actual newspaper article through the mail for a nominal fee, if you so desire.
