I then looked up the obituaries of several of them and put them online.

Check out the Civil War Dead page for a listing of those that received military tombstones.

Waukesha County Necrology Index-Assistance Needed

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Hello Researchers!

I have copies of the index pages of the Waukesha Necrology index. For those of you who don’t know what a necrology is, it is a collection of obituaries and information on people who have died. The Waukesha Necrology contains information on people who are related to Waukesha in some way. Many of those in the Necrology are early Waukesha Pioneers.

I am looking for people to help transcribe the list of names so that it can be added to website more quickly. So far I have copied about 32 volumes of names. There are 2 or 3 more films to copy the index from.

If you are interested in helping, please email me. Even if you can do only a page or two I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your consideration.
