Look-up service
Can’t get to Wisconsin Rapids? Our volunteers will do local research for you.
Typical requests: finding, scanning and sending an obituary; checking a city directory; extracting information from church and school centennial books held at the library. Once you’ve found your family member in one of our indexes, a volunteer can copy the record and send it to you.
Fees
| Small search | $20 donation |
| Larger requests | $20 per hour, plus photocopy costs |
| Transcript of a courthouse original | Within the hourly rate. Copies of original courthouse vital records have an extra cost; see the Wood County court site. |
