Genealogy Records at UWM

Guides to collections among our holdings that support genealogy research.

  • Birth Records
  • Census Records
  • Church, Synagogue, and Cemetery Records
  • Civil, Criminal, Fire, Jail, and Police Records
  • Death Records
  • Marriage Records
  • Name Change Records
  • Naturalization Records
  • Property Records
  • Tax Records

Many records, especially of fraternal, political or social groups, or trade-unions, can be of great use to genealogists, but are rarely examined. Other locations on the Archives’ Web site contain entries for many of these kinds of records. In many cases, these records can fill the gaps normally found after using the usual birth, death, marriage, and naturalization records.
