EARLY ROCK CO. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES & DEATHS, BOOK 2

Early Births, Deaths & Marriages from the Rock Co., WI Courthouse, Book 2


                                                            Scroll Down for the Surname Index
 
HOW TO GET COPIES OF ROCK COUNTY ORIGINAL RECORDS

This is a LIMITED VERSION (surname-only) partial transcript of the FULL RCGS INDEX entitled, Early Rock County Courthouse Records, Book 1. This index contains ALL the ORIGINAL SURNAMES and their FREQUENCY (number of times a birth, death or marriage occurs for each surname), but does not reveal given names, dates and other information. This limited version was placed on-line to increase Rock county genealogical data to the public and point researchers to the full Index with confidence that it will contain surname(s) they are researching.

The full version contains much more information (see examples below). From RCGS you can either:
  • Purchase the full index from the RCGS Store, or
  • Purchase Snippets or copies of just the pages in which your ancestors appear from the RCGS Library, or
  • Buy copies of the original Courthouse record with assistance from the RCGS Library staff.
