Vertical Files: Finding Bits & Pieces of Your Wisconsin Ancestors

  • Presenter: Melissa Barker
  • Date: Tuesday, June 20, 2023
  • Time: 7:00 PM Central
  • Webinar Description: Vertical Files, sometimes called Subject Files, are a collection of miscellaneous documents and ephemera that are puting in file folders which are then stored in filing cabinets and catalogued by surname and by subject name. These files are a hodge-podge of records and could contain just about anything that can fit into a file folder. This presentation will show the genealogist how to find these records in Wisconsin and how to use them.
