Wisconsin Military Records - The Wisconsin Historical Society has very
few records of Wisconsin residents involved in military action prior to the
Civil War. In the Civil War Wisconsin supplied 91,379 troops to support the
Union in the form of 53 infantry regiments, 14 artillery units, and 3 cavalry
regiments. When beginning a search for a Wisconsin Civil War veteran consult:
Wisconsin Adjutant General's Office, Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the
Rebellion, 1861-1865, (Madison, Wisconsin : Democrat Printing Co., 1914); an
alphabetical index (also available on microfiche) to the Roster of Wisconsin
Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1864, 2 vols. (Madison, Wisconsin :
Democrat Printing Co., 1886); and William G. Paul's Wisconsin's Civil War
Archives (Madison, Wisconsin : State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 1965).
This has been digitized and can be browsed at <
www.wisconsinhistory.org/roster/search.asp >
A certificate of service for Civil War service can be obtained from the
Wisconsin Historical Society. The certificate will usually show name, physical
description, occupation, rank, when and where enlisted, by whom enlisted, for
how long, when and where mustered into service, and date of termination of
service. Birthplace is frequently given, although if foreign it will only state
the country. With this certificate, the society will include a brief history of
the respective regiment. No pension records, outside of those available through
the National Archives, exist for Wisconsin. The State Archives is the repository
for other numerous miscellaneous records pertaining to Wisconsin residents and
units in the Civil War. These include records of the quartermaster general and
various regiments. Of special importance to the genealogist are country draft
books, lists of persons eligible for military service, regimental muster rolls,
hospital reports, certificates of service, duty rosters, and records of the
disposition of personal effects. Copies can be obtained through the Wisconsin
Historical Society at <
www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/orgrs >. The society's website provides
detailed information on its military record holdings <
www.wisconsinhistory.org/military/ >.
The archive has a manuscript index for the Spanish-American War; staff will
check the index and their records and provide a summary upon request. There are
no records in the archives for veterans of World Wars I and II or the Korean or
Vietnam conflicts. Information from the index of graves registrations for
veterans buried in Wisconsin through 1970 is available through the Wisconsin
Department of Veterans Affairs, Records Section, P.O. Box 7843, Madison,
Wisconsin 53707.
The library of the Wisconsin Historical Society has the World War I Selective
Service System Draft Registration Cards (1917-18) and a collection of camp
newspapers for both World War I and World War II. The archives has brief service
records compiled by the Adjutant General's office on all Wisconsin World War I
military personnel.
The Wisconsin Veterans Museum Archives, 30 W. Mifflin St., Madison, Wisconsin
53703 < http://museum.dva.state.wi.us
> has an invaluable collection of diaries and oral histories created by
veterans. Other strengths of the collection include the records of various state
veterans' organizations, a file of veteran burials in Wisconsin as well as
information on more than 500 veterans' memorials.
