Excellent resource for genealogical and historical data.

This is fantastic Biff thank you so much. kiss

I'm in the process of contacting them to find out how to get a yearbook from the navy that would include the year my father graduated (WWII) and also to find out if there are records listing the names of people that worked through the WPA in Wisconsin. The Zinc mine that my grandfather worked at closed for a period of time and I know he worked on a WPA project building a road from my hometown to a neighboring town. I thought it might be interesting to see if I can find him.

Thanks again for the link.
