WSGS is not a research organization. We do not do genealogical research, nor do we maintain a genealogical library.

Persons seeking assistance with genealogical research in Wisconsin should see the Members Directory of the Association of Professional Genealogists at http://www.apgen.org/directory/search.html?type=location&new_search=true or the Board for Certification of Genealogists at http://www.bcgcertification.org/associates/search_results.php?surname=&first_name=&organization=&state=WI&country=&special_interests= to find researchers who live in Wisconsin and take clients.

WSGS does not accept donated family history materials such as photographs, family group sheets, pedigree charts, scrapbooks or accumulated research, as we have nowhere to store them and no one to catalog or maintain them. PLEASE do not throw those precious materials away, though! There are many local history rooms in public libraries or local historical societies who would love to have materials relating to people who lived in their area. Please contact them about possible donations.
