FIRST TWO THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ONE
First and
foremost, my Richland County Wisconsin Cemetery records ARE NOT a cemetery
tombstone transcription project, where all the information comes
only
from the tombstone engravings. My
information from many other sources.

Richland County Wisconsin
Cemetery Guide
(Last Updated September 22, 2020)
Short
History
of Project
The THOMPSON
Richland
County, WI cemetery project started with the Richland Center
and Saint
Mary's cemeteries, located in Richland Center, in Oct/1993, which was
completed
in
December/1994. Starting in December/1994, township cemeteries data from
the
book
"HERE
THEY SLEEP" was transferred into this database and updated. I
presented
the Richland County
Cemeteries project to the Richland County
Historical
Society in May/1997.
These records,
plus the
maiden name cross-reference were printed and placed in paper form at
the
Richland County History Room, which is located on the 2nd floor in the
Brewer Library
(325 N. Central Avenue, Richland Center, WI. 53581) in
September/1996.
{The paper format has been
replaced with computer database which is updated on a monthly bases.}
In about 2000, this website was offered by Lori Manning for the home of
my project and since
that time and to date my cemetery records and photographs have been
added. Along with links
to map data offered by Dennis Cook and Lori Manning's Township pages.
This project is never ending and electronic updates are made available
to the Richland County
History Room and this website, on a ongoing bases.
What THOMPSON's Cemeteries are and are not.
This project is NOT cemetery records only! Pure cemetery researchers
should not be lead to
believe that all the data is available at the burial site.
The data comes from cemetery data, Register of Deeds records (mainly
death records),
Obituaries (mainly the local paper), Richland County History Room (many
sources), local history
books (mainly the 1884, 1906 and 1986 Histories of Richland Co.) and
family researchers.
Also from websites such as SS Death Index, Find-A-Grave,
USGEN Wisconsin Tombstone
Transcription and Photograph projects and others. And of course
feedback
from people like you
that find errors and provide additional information.
Most of the additional data, from outside the cemetery source is maiden
names, marriages and
dates of marriages, parents and full birth and death dates.
