Overview

Join the Wisconsin Historical Society and Lee Grady, the Society's reference archivist, as we share stories and best strategies to discover your ancestors.

Explore diverse topics, including:

• Introduction to Genealogy in the Archives
• Government Records (Court, Licensing, Military)

Starting or expanding your family history research can be a daunting task!
