We now have resources for Adams, Clark, Portage, Jackson, Juneau, Monroe, Wood, Waushara and some for Trempealau Co too. Permission was recently granted for the Library to buy the Guyant Collection of cemetery and obituary records on microfilm, which includes ALL known Waushara, Portage, and Adams County cemeteries, and portions of Wood and other counties in central WI. The LDS have microfilmed the Guyant Collection, so if you cannot visit the Charles and JoAnn Lester Library at Nekoosa, you can borrow this resource for use at your area's Family History Center. (To find the film numbers, check the LDS FHL Catalog and type in Waushara and Wisconsin in the search boxes & click on cemeteries) Joan M.
