Wisconsin Name Index Gets New Names

The Wisconsin Name Index, last mentioned in March 2003, has added over 12,000 leads to Wisconsin political figures, bringing the total name count in the index to over 125,000 people. The Wisconsin Historical Society plans to add another 12,000 records, and in March will add 14,000 listings from Wisconsin professional directories and other specialized sources.

The index itself is searchable from http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wni/ ; you may search by first name, last name, and location. An announcement about the archive expansion and future plans is available at http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/features/archives/000272.asp .
