I haven't seen too much listed for Luxembourgers in that area. My gggrandparents Jacob and Marguerite (Senninger) Bernardy and family emigrated in 1847 and settled in the Lake Church area near Belgium, WI. Also the Nicholas and Margaretha (Jager) Kitzinger (also gggrandparents) came from Castell and emigrated to Lake Church area in 1857. Nicholas' brother Frantz Kitzinger also emigrated to the same area in 1861. The Kitzinger families later moved to Black Creek, WI while the Bernardy family moved to the Peshtigo, WI area. I have fairly complete information about these families down to the current time if anyone is interested. The one thing I am missing is the exact date and the ship that the Bernardy's landed. Someone provided me a list of the ships that are probable ones but I haven't had time to search yet. Does anyone have a listing of the passengers that arrived in NY from Antwerp in 1847? No one had them before but I thought I would ask again. Phil -----Original Message----- >> DEAR PHIL: The Bernardy name is very familiar to me: if they came from the port of Antwerp to NY in 1847, I'll bet you a dollar to a donut they were on a ship with: Anton Grun, Catherine Groos Grun; Joann Grun and Margaretha Binat Grun and children Franziska and Catherine; Peter Grun, Maria Grun, and at least 40 other Luxies. I am currently trying to find the name of the ship--not an easy task. Some arrived here in 1847 on the ship: Anna Elise. The Grun family history book says they then traveled to Detroit and took a lake steamer or schooner to Milwaukee. From there, Bishop Henni encouraged Luxies to settle what became Town of Belgium and Lake Church, Holy Cross (one of Hennie's mission areas), Fredonia, Port Washington (where I am from and still live). Our area actually had more Luxie immigration than Rollingstone, MN---the thing is: Luxies stopped here and then in a few years, many moved on to northern WI and MN or went west. By the way, I would be glad to accept any data of yours because I also help others search for their Luxie roots in Washington and Ozaukee County, WI. Besides...I might find family connections (very big grin).

Best wishes to all from one of the largest 19th century Luxembourg settlements in America. (Note: there were also many Irish, Dutch, German, Italians in this area, too. The Italians came because they could do a good job dynamiting the quarries; just north of the Luxie settlement was a Dutch one in southern Sheboygan county; the Irish were among many, many local names) Melissa Port Washington, WI
