I'm starting to think that this is a pipe-dream!! I've got to prove my lineage down the paternal line from my great great great grandfather (born in Lux in 1834, died in WI in 1909).
I've got his death certificate as of today, and can get any of the documents I need up to my grandparents, but my great grandparents - the Lux ancestor are all in this weird cluster of years that Wisconsin kept records sometimes but not always.
So I think I'm out of luck getting birth and marriage certs. for two or three generations.
I've been able to find census pages linking my great-great-great grandfather to his wife and their son, and another linking that son to his eventual wife and their own son, but I'm not sure certified copies of census pages will make up for the lack of documents.
Mostly I'm just mad about waiting this long to get on it and now being at a loss for where to go for documents
