I have ancestors from the Trier area but they didn't emigrate to Wisconsin... They emigrated to the Chicago IL!! And I am sure there were many more who also ended up in Illinois!! My Franzen's came from Sülm/Röhl, Bitburg area... http://www.budlink.us/JT_webcards/wc01/wc01_462.htm A wonderful volunteer named Cindy (I had computer problems early last year so lost most of my correspondence with her...) was also looking & researching in the Trier area. She put me on to MY ancestors when I never thought I would find them ;-) I think she lives in Iowa but I'm not sure...
