Getting a Wisconsin death certificate
« on: Saturday 21 October 17 19:36 BST (UK) »
See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=705236.msg6340928#msg6340928 for the background to this.

Is it possible to get Wisconsin death certificates, and if so do they tell you the names of the parents of the deceased?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I think it may depend on the time frame as to whether parents' names would be on there.  You can try searching here for records up to 1907 - https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1803975  I think this database of various records covers the same time frame - https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Article/CS15307

There are other Wisconsin related links here - http://www.deathindexes.com/wisconsin/index.html

Thank you. I'll try those.
