- Wisconsin. Alphabetical Index to Pre-1907 Registrations
of Birth. 1852. The Bureau of Health
Statistics has produced a statewide index to the pre-1907 birth
registrations which is organized chronologically by date of
birth. The index lists the individual's name, date and county of
birth, and a reel and document number where the entry can be
located. The index also includes most of the entries found in
the Delayed Registrations of Births. There are a number of
problems with the index. All entries for
which a complete birthdate was not given are listed at the
beginning of the index in alphabetical order by county. Some
entries for the year 1900 also appear at the beginning of the
chronological listing with the year shown as "00". The reel
numbers shown on the indexes do not refer to the reel numbers
assigned to the microfilm. However, they can be used as a
locating device; either by using the finding aid or notes on
microfilm boxes at ARC. Entries for Sheboygan and Walworth
counties may give incorrect reel and document numbers. Incorrect
county of birth has been given for all counties beginning with
the letter "s". Therefore, all entries which list St. Croix as
the county of birth are really Sauk; Sauk is really Sawyer;
Sawyer is really Shawano; Shawano is really Sheboygan; and
Sheboygan is really St. Croix. As with all indexes, researchers
are cautioned to check variant spellings of names due to errors
of transcription.
