Thanks to Betty Martz (BMartz4832) a wonderful volunteer who extracted all 5,409 names from this marriage index of indiviuals who married in Wisconsin AND registered this event, before 1907.

Some of the indexes are incorrect - and any dates before 1820 are mostly wrong.  However, if you give all the numbers, you should be able to get the correct record.

. Wisconsin is one of few states to have a wide-spread index of records prior to establishment of a state vital records office. However, it is important to note that there will be some records at the county level not included in this statewide index. Taken from the index created by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Vital Records Division this database lists only those counties indexed by the state of Wisconsin. The entries for Racine County are incomplete, and all counties following Racine in alphabetical order are not included in this index.

Extended Description:
