Hoping someone else may be researching this family..... The WYCHERS family of Henrica, Veronica, Lorenz, Margaretha and Anton, immigrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1866 from Leer, Hannover aboard the ship Hansa, traveling with Wilhelm ENGELN, b. 1840. They were joining Henrica's husband, Joseph Gerhard WYCHERS. The family attended St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the spelling used in those records was WICHERS. Veronica married a SALLINGER sometime before 1876. I lose track of this family after 1888 and am having trouble finding them in any of the census' also. Sally in Waukesha County, Wisconsin

Sally, The Milwaukee Public Library (around 8th & Wisconsin) has many early City Directories that were published every year. It may be that you would be able to find your relatives in these directories. Since you are so close to Milwaukee, it might be worth a try. The genealogy collection is on the second floor in the Humanities area. The city directories are toward the back of the room on the right side and are available without assistance from the librarians. Good luck!
