Wisconsin Biography Index

Many Wisconsin biographies contain valuable genealogical information and can be found in county and area histories and other publications. They may have been published before vital records were required to be kept by the state and may contain valuable clues for research not found anywhere else.

This index, compiled by Cheryl Janke, is intended to direct researchers to biographies in various older county histories. It is intended for educational and personal use only and may not be used for commercial purposes.

The use of information from this database requires that credit be given to Cheryl Janke.

To determine if the book or books you are looking for are owned by the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library, UW-Eau Claire, or the Wisconsin Historical Society, please contact the Wisconsin Biographical Index, call number REFERENCE 929.3775 J258w.
