Milwaukee County Wisconsin Genealogy

Introduction

If you have access to a courthouse, library, archive, genealogical books, cemetery or church records, etc. dealing with Milwaukee County and would be willing to do lookups for others, please email me.

When asking for a lookup, please limit yourself to one or two names. Remember that these people that offer are doing this on their own time. Let's not overburden them or they will no longer enjoy helping. And a big heartfelt "Thank You" goes a long way.

For a list of local libraries and what materials are available See our Library page.
