E-mail UW-Oshkosh Archivist

Go to the Oshkosh ARC website, type in Marquette in the quick search box, and
select "search by keyword"

This is the archives which includes Marquette Co governmental records,
such as citizenships, tax records, pre-1907 vital records, etc

Once you find what records they have you can query them for free up to three
queries per email. I just asked them for a probate, naturalization and
marriage in the same query. They just ask that you give as much info as you
can as to dates, places, name variation etc. Donations to the archives are
welcome and appreciated.

Wisconsin Veterans Museum
Wisconsin Veterans Museum has a database of all WI Civil War Veterans and

and SASE to:
