While there are a few in the state’s leadership that are trying to shed the cheese head popularity, others involved in Wisconsin genealogy continue to fight to keep the designation, claiming it is traced to their roots of German ancestry. This is only one example of how those interested in Wisconsin genealogy are using the information about their familial history to help maintain an accurate depiction of where they came from. Since the popularity of trace their beginnings expanded in the 1970’s, many families are continuing to trace their lineage, hoping to establish their true roots. Many people involved in Wisconsin genealogy claim it takes a special breed of people to endure and embrace the cold weather they often experience and believe their may be some clues in their family history as to how they can survive. For many others, Wisconsin genealogy attempts to find out not only where and from whom they are descended, but what type of people were able to bring them to the current location.

Prior to the use of the internet, Wisconsin genealogy was limited to public records and newspaper searches, most often having to be done in person and by hand. When information surfaced indicting that the family may have branched to another state or even to another country, the researcher often drew a dead end, lacking the time or resources to take their research to the next previous level. With the availability of the internet and the surging popularity of genealogy, it is much easier to contact others that may be involved in tracing their Wisconsin genealogy and learn what happened to other branches of the same family tree when they were spread to many other areas.

Politics
Much of the state’s political history involved coalitions among different ethnic groups. The most famous controversy dealt with foreign language teaching in schools. This was fought out in the Bennett Law campaign of 1890, when the Germans switched to the Democratic Party because of the Republican Party’s support of the Bennett Law, which led to a major victory for the Democrats.

The cities of Wisconsin have been active in organizing themselves to provide for greater government transparency by increasing the availability of legislative information on the internet. Currently three out of the top five most populous cities in Wisconsin provide their constituents with internet based access of all public records directly from the cities’ databases. Wisconsin cities started to make this a priority after Milwaukee began doing so, in 2001. One such city, Madison, has been named the Number 1 digital city by the Center for Digital Government in consecutive years. Nearly 18 percent of Wisconsin’s population has the ability to access their municipality’s information in this way.

Lawmakers in Wisconsin
1984 was the last election that Wisconsin supported a Republican Presidential candidate. However, both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections were close, with Wisconsin receiving heavy doses of national advertising because it was a “swing” or pivot state. Al Gore carried the presidential vote in 2000 by only 5,700 votes, and John Kerry won Wisconsin in 2004 by 11,000 votes. Republicans had a stronghold in the Fox Valley but elected a Democrat, Steve Kagen, of Appleton, for the 8th Congressional District in 2006. Republicans have held Waukesha County). The City of Milwaukee itself heads the list of Wisconsin’s Democratic strongholds which also includes Madison and the state’s Native American reservations. WIsconsin’s largest Congressional district, the 7th Congressional district has been a strong Democratic hold since 1969, and has re-elected Congressman David Obey with 62% of the vote. Rep. Obey chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee.

* Wisconsin’s political history encompasses, on the one hand, “Fighting Bob” La Follette and the Progressive movement; and on the other, Joe McCarthy, the controversial anti-Communist censured by the Senate during the 1950s.
* In the early 20th century, the Socialist Party of America had a base in Milwaukee (the phenomenon was referred to as sewer socialism because the socialists were more concerned with public works and reform than with revolution); it faded out in the late 1950s, largely due to the red scare and racial tensions.     * The first Socialist mayor of a large city in the United States was Emil Seidel, elected mayor of Milwaukee in 1910; another Socialist, Daniel Hoan, was mayor of Milwaukee from 1916 to 1940; and a third, Frank P. Zeidler, from 1948-1960. Socialist newspaper editor Victor Berger was repeatedly elected as a U.S. Representative, although he was prevented from serving for some time due to his opposition to the First World War.
* William Proxmire, a Democratic Senator (1957-89) dominated the Democratic party for years; he was best known for attacking waste and fraud in federal spending.
* Democrat Russ Feingold was the only Senator to vote against the Patriot Act in 2001.
* Democrat Tammy Baldwin from Madison was the first, and is currently the only, openly lesbian U.S. Representative.
* In 2004, Gwen Moore, a Democrat from Milwaukee, became Wisconsin’s first, and currently only, African-American U.S. Representative.

The 2006, Democrats gained in a national sweep of opposition to the Bush administration, and the Iraq War. The retiring GOP 8th District Congressman, Mark Green, of Green Bay, ran against Gov. Doyle, amidst a scandal of illegal campaign contributions. Green lost by 8% statewide, including his own district and hometown. Doyle became the first Democratic Governor to be re-elected in 32 years. The Republicans lost control of the state Senate with 3 Republicans losing their seats. The Democrats gained 8 seats in the state Assembly, but the Republicans retained a 3 vote majority, in that house.
