Anyone with ancestors who lived in Wisconsin have a unique resource available. You can visit an area research center in person or browse some of the indexes that have been put online. Google the phrase to reach the Wisconsin Historical Society's explanation of this resource and a map of the locations throughout the state. Part of the information follows:
The Wisconsin Historical Society and the University of Wisconsin cooperate in a group of research centers located at campus libraries throughout the state and at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center in Ashland. Records from nearby counties are housed permanently at each center and circulate within the network. The state is divided into 14 regions that hold records from the counties in each area.
Archivists at each center can answer written and telephone requests; there may be charges for any copies requested. Before visiting, be sure to call the center to check on hours of operation. Two holdings of genealogical interest are tax and naturalization records.
