This page provides links to resources not directly related to Wood County. The primary purpose of these links is to make it easy for HOWGS members to pursue their family history research on the internet, and to post their own family history page if they want.

If you find any missing or incorrect links or any other links that you feel should be included on these pages, please contact the webmaster. Please only submit links that would be beneficial for general research. Except for the ethnic links below, we will not post locale specific links unless they are relevant to Wood County, Wisconsin. You can add these links in your Favorites area.
