Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RGB.2ACI/404.1 Message Board Post: Tom, I have the same situation in my research into my wife's family. Her ggr Frederick Naumann and his brother emigrated to Newton Township in Manitowoc County in 1854, and their sons John and Henry (and maybe others) are found in Menominee Co MI in the 1890s--Henry married Maggie Straka in 1891, and John m Anna Straka in 1894. There were Strakas in Manitowoc Co as well but I can't connect them with Anna or Maggie. Sometime in the 1890s these two couples moved to Green Bay. I lost track of Henry and Maggie in 1905 but have tracked John and Anna for the rest of their lives, John dying in 1947 and Anna in 1956. Lumbering was *the* big deal in northern WI and the UP of Michigan at the time, although I don't have many specifics. It would have been simple to take a steamboat from Manitowoc to Marinette in the winter--thousands did it. I would look forward to more details here from others.

My g-gf purchased a farm in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin in 1878 and was a farmer for his entire life. He raised seven children on his farm, and six of them were born there. However, his first child was born in Menominee, Michigan on 21 Apr 1879 (as is recorded on her marriage record and her death certificate). My g-gf was born in Bohemia and his family background was in agriculture not lumbering or fishing. He was 29 years old in 1879 (his name was Ondrej Savlik = Andrew Shavlik, other variations are Sawlik, Schawlik, Schavlik and Schaflik). It is my theory that my g-gf went to Menominee to work the lumber industry during the winter to earn money. I do not think he had many animals on his farm and if he did, he probably could have left them with a neighbor. I do not know if there was much work to be done on the farm, the ground would be frozen, there was no machinery to maintain...so it seems logical that he would look for other work. I assume the winter was the busy season in the lumber industry for felling trees and hauling them to the river banks. There were no other family members in the US at this time, so he was not visiting family. I do not know if Menominee County had much of a Czech community back then, such that he may have been visiting friends. I appreciate any help....Tom ----- email: pan_mila@yahoo.com
