Wisconsin Genealogy & LDS Family History Centers

This Midwestern state has been home to a wide range of cultures throughout its history, making it an interesting place to trace one's family tree. To launch an exploration of your ancestry, start at one of the Wisconsin family history centers located around the state. These facilities are owned and operated by members of the Wisconsin LDS church, who serve as volunteers that provide training programs and remain on site to answer questions during office hours. Speaking of hours, they do fluctuate from location to location, so phone the office near you before heading over. These centers offer an extensive collection of microfilm, print and electronic documents to help you explore your past efficiently and accurately.
