The following file contains a listing of genealogical and historical
societies in Wisconsin.  Included in the listing, where known, are telephone
numbers and yearly dues.  This listing is donated to the public domain and
may be freely  copied.  Under no conditions can this listing be sold or used
in any other commercial fashion.  If you think this list has any value, then
donate that value in helping your local genealogical society (or the National
Genealogical Society).
 
If you write to any of the societies on this list for information, remember

                       VITAL RECORDS
 
Birth and Death Records Before 1907
 
A few counties began keeping birth and death records in the 1850s, but most
date from the 1870s or later. These documents often give excellent
genealogical information. All of the records through 1907 have been deposited
at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and the area research centers.
 
There are three indexes to these records. Copies of these indexes are at the
State Historical Society in Wisconsin, the area research centers, and the
Family
History Library. These are:
 
        The Unedited Pre-l907 Birth Index, arranged alphabetically by surname
(on 38 microfiche, FHL fiche 6331478). This gives the date of birth, the
county, and the volume and page number of the original record.
 
        The Pre-1907 Birth Index, arranged chronologically by the date of
birth (on 41 fiche, FHL fiche 6331476). Use this only if you know the
approximate date of birth, or if the name is not found in the alphabetical
index mentioned above.
 
        The Pre-1907 Death Index, alphabetically arranged for the entire
state (on 29 fiche, FHL fiche 6331472). Be sure to search for spelling
variations of the surname.
 
NOTE: From the Wisconsin State Historical Society:
 
     "The project to index the state-level vital records ran out of money
     before the project was completed.  The index therefore includes only
     the counties alphabetically from Adams to the ending point part way
     through Racine County.  The remainded of Racine County and the
     additional counties from that point until the end of the alphabetical
     list of counties were not included in the pre-1907 index and there is,
     present, no known intent to complete that particular project."
 
Delayed registrations of births began in 1937. The records to 1942 are
located at the Center for Health Statistics (see address below).  Later
records are at the county courthouses.
 
Many of the delayed registrations have been included in the Unedited Pre-1907
birth index because the births occurred before statewide registration began.
 
Records of Births and Deaths Since 1907
 
Statewide registration of births and deaths began in 1907. You can obtain
copies by writing to:
 
        Department of Health & Social Services
        Section of Vital Statistics
        P. O. Box 309
        Madison, WI 53701
 
State your relationship to the individual you want information about and the
reason you want the information.
 
Marriage Records
 
Before statewide registration, individual counties recorded marriages. Some
records, particularly those from Brown, Crawford, Dodge, and Jefferson
counties, begin as early as the 1820's. You can obtain copies by writing to
the county clerk or the Section of Vital Statistics (see address above).
 
The index to these records is the Pre-1907 Marriage Index of nearly one
million names, alphabetically arranged for the entire state.  Search for
variations of the surname when using the index. The State Historical Society
in Wisconsin also has this index.
 
NOTE:  See above for information on this index.
 
After 1907, marriage records from all counties can be obtained from the
Section of Vital Statistics (address above).
 
Divorce Records
 
Divorce proceedings are usually kept by the county clerks and circuit judges.
You should contact the county courthouse for information.

>From the State of Wisconsin's list of notes for genealogists:
"Effective August 15, 1991, Wisconsin law requires a $10.00 fee for
search a birth record, and the first copy. ($5.00 for searching the
file, and $5.00 for the Child Abuse & Neglect Program).  Additional
copies of the same record, provided at the same time, are $2.00 each."
 
"Effective August 15, 1991, Wisconsin law requires a $7.00 fee for
searching a death, marriage, or divorce record.  The first copy is
free.  Additional copies of the same record, provided at the same time,
are $2.00 each.  NOTE:  The State Office of Vital Statistics will no
longer provide copies of Divorce records occurring on or after January
1, 1987.  You should contact the Clerk of Court in the county where the
divorce occurred."
 
"Please make your check or money order payable to:  CENTER FOR HEALTH
STATISTICS."

                       Earliest Registration Dates
                       ---------------------------
Registration of events prior to 1907 was rather sketchy.  It has been
estimated that less than 50% of the records were prepared and submitted for
permanent filing before that time.
