It was nice to see themessage about the Wisconsin Lux. settlements. 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.
