Genealogy Database Development

Make your local vital records available for genealogy research through your library's web site! Winnefox can help you move away from trays of index cards and newspaper clipping files -- all you need to do is designate a staff person or volunteer to enter data from your local files, and we'll do the rest! To get started contact Keetra Baker at baker(at)winnefox.org.

To get an idea of what we can do for your library, take a look at the databases we've developed so far:

	Fond du Lac Vital Records Database -- includes many of the obituaries, funeral notices, marriages and milestone anniversaries published in the Fond du Lac newspapers between 1846 and 1994 and June 2005 to recent issues.

Local Vital Records Index (Green Lake County libraries & Carter Memorial Library in Omro) -- index to marriage announcements, anniversary notices and obituaries published in the Berlin Journal, the Green Lake County Reporter, the Markesan Regional Reporter, the Omro Herald, and the Princeton Times-Republic. In addition, other newspapers serving these communities are included as well. Years indexed are 1977 - June 1980 and 2002-current.

	Oshkosh Vital Records Database -- obituaries, death notices and funeral notices 1861 - 1999 and birth announcements, marriage licenses, marriage announcements, milestone birthdays, milestone anniversaries and obituaries 2000 to recent issues, as published in the Oshkosh (Daily) Northwestern newspaper.

Waushara County Obituary Database -- information transcribed from obituaries of individuals having ties to Waushara County published in the Oshkosh Northwestern and the Waushara Argus ranging from 1864 - 2005.

	Winneconne Vital Records Database -- births, marriages, and obituaries published in all surviving Winneconne newspaper issues through 2006.
