I almost have the K pages done. I have to make sure all the men are entered from the index pages and it will be as finished as I can get it. Should wrap it up tomorrow then it’s on to another bunch.
Hello All,
Last month the Wisconsin Historical Society introduced our new Pre-1907 Wisconsin Vital Records Index, which can be found at http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords.
We began the index with nearly 1 million birth records and are excited to announce the addition of nearly 400,000 Wisconsin death records. The new death index, like its companion, began as a 1970s microfiche publication. The Schoenleber Foundation of Milwaukee generously provided funds to convert them to electronic form, so now genealogists have free public access to a comprehensive pre-1907 index to Wisconsin births and deaths. Marriages, for all Wisconsin counties, are up next. You can discover ancestors by individual name, by browsing by county and year, or by exact date.
Births and deaths can both be searched at the same time and then viewed separately, if desired. State law prohibits publication on the Web of original birth or death certificates, so when you discover someone about whom you want more details, you can order a paper copy of the complete certificate from the Society online. Most are delivered within two weeks, and Society members receive a 10-percent discount on each order.
Or, you can use the index as a research tool that points you to the birth and death records that you need. Vital records are not the only genealogical source available on the Society Web site.
To learn more about what we have online check out our genealogy page at www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy. Hope you enjoy the new additions.

Added info to the LeClair family linked to from Charles LeClair in the marriages. Moved all the same day marriages into the marriage pages thanks to a researcher I was able to do it. Put a wedding photo of Henry Bies/Anna Kohout as well as photos of their child Ruth, the link to photos of Ruth is in cem. #43
Took the night off last night. I was busy washing clothes. My wash machine took a dump for the last time Friday. Got a new one put in and have been washing up a storm. Nice to have a gentle cycle again!
Almost daily people send me in tidbits of information to add to the site. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You! Unfortunately I don’t get to all the tidbits right away. This morning I am working on adding some of the tidbits. The following is a list of things I have added:
Update to Cemetery 061 and 084, addition of bios for RIESEN, DUTTON in the 1881 bio section,
I have been continuing on the Jewish burials. I have found some discrepency in the data and have noted the cemeteries as such. Any information I think may be invalid I remove. If you have any updated data for any of these burials please submit it to me.
Got the v. and p. numbers in the Ko page. If I never see another K it will be too soon.
We got a bit of snow today..it looked like one of those snow globes, great big flakes just lazing their way to the ground. Got the volume and page numbers done on the Kj page. That puts me half way through the Ks.
Added obits for John and Mary Raquet #82, Justine Kuhn #82, Eva Schmahl #83
The S’s are done. Started putting v. and p. numbers in the Ke marriages.
