WIGenWeb Archives Project Wood County

This is an indexing of the Wood County portion of the state of Wisconsin microfiche Pre 1907 Births. Wisconsin was one of few states to have a wide-spread index of records prior to establishment of a state vital records office. However, there may be some records at the county level not included in this statewide index, so be sure to check the county records (located at the county courthouse) as well. These records are taken from the index created by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Vital Records Division and document early Wisconsin settlers. Keep in mind that the records are only as accurate as as the individuals reporting the information and record keepers who recorded it. If it wasn't reported, it was not recorded.

Once you locate a record, copy down the Surname, given name, birth date, county of birth, Reel number, and Record Number (the reel number and record number identifies the location of the record on the microfishe). Use that information to obtain copies of originals from the state of Wisconsin:
