Pre-1907 Vital Records
The Pre-1907 Wisconsin Birth Index was made by digitizing a microfiche index
and then expanding it with tens of thousands of delayed births, or births that were filed many years after the event, that were previously indexed separately. The result is free public access to more than 1,000,000 Wisconsin births, dating from the 1840s through 1907. The index can be searched in a variety of ways — using just a last name or browsing by county and year. Users can try various names and locations to find
Wisconsin ancestors. When an ancestor is found, a copy of the birth record can be ordered from the Wisconsin Historical Society online. The Society plans to add
pre-1907 death and marriage indexes in the next few months, creating a comprehensive
vital records index that will be entirely free and publicly searchable.

VERMONT STATE ARCHIVES ONLINE DATA BASES: NYE INDEX
The NYE INDEX was created by Mary Greene Nye, the Editor of State Papers,
1927-1950, as a name and subject index to Manuscript Vermont State Papers (Record Series SE-118) and the Stevens Papers. The Vermont State Archives automated more
than 53,000 cards from the NYE INDEX, covering all 18th century records indexed
by Mary Greene Nye. The NYE INDEX database is searchable by name, record
description, and date. The index for 19th century records will be added as time and resources allow.

The Treacherous Blue Books of 1847
The 1847 Government Report on Education is important for social historians of
mid nineteenth century Wales because of the wealth of information contained in it on
not only the appalling state of the education system in the country, but also on everyday life and work in both the industrialised & rural areas. Genealogists can use these reports to learn the conditions of the schools, literacy rates, prevailing wages & social structure of parishes of interest. It also contains direct comment on the religious and moral standing of the people of Wales. But the blue-covered report is infamously
remembered for the furore and agitation it caused in Wales because of the remarks of
the three non-Welsh speaking Anglican commissioners regarding the Welsh language, Nonconformity and the morals of the Welsh people in general. Complete scanned
images of the printed report from the National Library of Wales.
