Welcome

My name is Jeannette Harper. I am the County Coordinator and Webmaster for the Douglas County GenWeb website. Hopefully, I can help those researching Douglas County WI roots!

At any time, if you can't find something, discover a broken link and have a suggestion about what you would like to see on this site, please click the Webmaster link found everywhere in this site.

Please note: Twice, in the last 3 months, hackers have caused major disruption of many USGenWeb sites. This is the reason for delays in getting your queries posted to this site as well as any and all requested changes. The USGenWeb technical staff are doing everything in their power to minimize the impact but sometimes they have been overwhelmed! I don't know why someone would do this but unfortunately, there are sick people out there in cyber space!

Please note: This website is in no way connected with the 'official' State of Wisconsin nor the County of Douglas.

Did you know: A law enacted February 8, 1854, separated Douglas County from the larger county of La Pointe. Superior was immediately selected as the county seat; however, it wasn't incorporated as a city until 1887. This county is named after US Senator Stephen Douglas. Located in northwest Wisconsin, the county seat is Superior. The first survey was done in 1853-54 by George R. Stuntz.
