Hi, I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I've been trying to figure out where my family came into America from Poland. I have done numerous searches and come up empty each time. I did get immigration papers and it wasn't very helpful. It shows they arrived around April 1892 in the port of Detroit. No other real information. I have been unable to figure out where this is exactly. I assumed Detroit, Michigan but couldn't find anything. I'm probably missing something and would love to figure this out. If anyone can help me, please email me off list. I'm looking for Anton (Antoni, Anthony) Tuchalski (Tuschalski, Tuchalska) and wife Katarzyna (Maiden name Szpotek) with about 6 children. The oldest being Frank. Thank you in advance for any help at all. Have a nice day, Rhonda

I would like to add: If you are researching in Wisconsin it pays to take a look at the Milwaukee papers even if your family did not live in the Milwaukee area. I had ancestors residing near Tomah (Monroe County) WI and I found mention of the fire at their sawmill in the Milwaukee area papers (circa 1880's). Prior to finding this article in the Milwaukee papers, I was not aware of the fire! (On a fluke chance, I found mention of the family surname in the newspaper index on file at the Milwaukee library.)

There is a beautiful old church on the corner of W Lincoln and S 6th streetsin Milwaukee. It is called St Josephat's Basilica(St Joe's). It's a very large Catholic church and has been drawing large numbers since 1888. It was predominantly Polish and German and the congregation was wide-spread. This is just a few blocks South of Mitchell St. The church is a local landmark with a large copper dome that can be seen for miles in all directions. Maybe this is a possible candidate.

Thank you JD for your post in December regarding the Milw County Gen Society listing of marriages. I found new info on my great-great grandfather on the marriage certificate. The certificate states taht he was married in 23 Sep 1860 at the "Fruitz" church of the Luth. Congregation in (unreadable) city of Milwaukee . The word "Fruitz" is in small handwriting above the word church so it's hard to read and I might not have the spelling correctly, it could be F??uitz. Is anyone familiar with this church? Thanks, Angela

For bits of every nationality and the immigrant experience, I picked up a book a couple of years ago at Barnes and Noble. "Ellis Island Interviews--Immigrants Tell Their Stories in Their Own Words" by Peter Morton Coan. It is fascinating because it tells the story of the old country, the journey to a port, the ship experience, and what happened once in America.

Hi, Does anyone on this list know of a few good books about the German immigrant experience? I've read, Homeland, by John Jakes and enjoyed it. It seems there are hundreds out there about the Irish and Ireland. I love them. But would like to read about Germany and Germans other than World War II. I've looked on the web. Thanks for any suggestions. Maxine Capezza

Hi Maxine, Yes I decided to write all of the local county lists again: Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee, Milwaukee and Jefferson/Dodge Counties...this gentleman sounds interesting--is he local to Milwaukee? What I need is somone who can read the old German Script on micofilm for a couple of days after the drowning...thye are available via the Wisconsin State Historical Library...and local libraries.

Susan, Your letter to the Milwaukee list was interesting. Most of my lines are German and they are all brickwalls. I have been trying for sometime to write to a German researcher who runs a column in Heritage Quest magazine. Have you ever read it? It is wonderful. For almost a year this columnist wasn't taking any new requests but I think he is now. His name is Horst A. Reschke. Anyway, after reading the questions and his answers for a few years, I think he could help you solve anything. He is a wonder. You don't have much to go on. Neither do I. But when I can compose a letter that is effective I am going to try him. I did look up your name in my History of Milwaukee Wisconsin, 1881 and I found several listings for George Michels, G. Michels, L. Michels...none were any help. Except for one which mentioned a fire in which a store called Michels and something sustained damage, the others were listings of people who held some minor public office. One was for founding members of a religious and muscial society called Freie Gemeinde. Did you ask Bob of Brookfield to look through his books? Sounds like you've covered everything. Did you write to the Ozaukee county list at Roots web? Good luck to you. Maxine

I need some new ideas... I have been searching for any information on the "elusive George MICHEL(s)"...he has become somewhat of a joke in my family...because he has caused me the most headaches--and still I have no futher information than he was born in "Prussia"-- George Michels was born in the year 1795. --arrival in the Port of Baltimore on August 16, 1840 -- (Actual Ship Record says Aug 19, 1840) and he arrives alone--no wife or children. Both he and his wife die before the 1900 Census..so I have no idea what year she immigrated --George's 1st daughter, Elizabeth, was born in "Prussia" February 04, 1834...some of you may be related to the Henry JONEN line from Lommersum, Rheinland, Prussia and then Granville, WI. George's 2nd daughter, Ann--her birth place varies from census to census: November 22, 1843-Prussia, or Mequon, Ozaukee Co., WI (Notice a 7 year gap in births here)--some of you may be related to the Jacob HOLZEM line of Ollheim, Rheinland. Germany (Ollheim is close to Rheinbach, near Koeln (Cologne) George MICHEL(S) --Date of Declaration: Dec 25, 1844--Circuit Court --Date of Naturalization: October 27, 1854--Circuit Court From Port Washington, Ozaukee County, WI..neither give more information regarding his town of origin, nor do they mention his wife/children George Michel(s) --Lived in Belgium, Ozaukee County (1848-??) --First purchased land in the Town of Belgium, about 8 miles north of Port Washington. He got the land through a land patent from the United States Bureau of Land Division. He later sold the land and purchased land in the Thiensville area (1855) --Patentee Name; State; County; Issue Date Land Office Doc.; Nr. Accession MICHELS, GEORGE WI Ozaukee 2/10/1848 Milwaukee 23440 WI2930__.373 MICHELS, GEORGE WI Washington 5/1/1855 Milwaukee 36033 WI3180__.156 ---Patents and Deeds/Sales show Anna Marie as his wife, but no further information... George MICHEL(S) is --Not listed in Ozaukee's early census records of 1855, 1860, or 1865. George's 3rd daughter, Eva, was definately born in Wisconsin --September 09, 1847 in Thiensville, Ozaukee Co., Wisconsin (per death certificates and Census info) ---US Federal Census/Wisconsin/Washington County/Township of Mequon Enumerated on 10th of October 1850--Line 24; page 12; dwelling 20; family number 1232 George Michels aged 41 male; white; farmer- value of Real Estate: $200.00; born in Prussia...lists Anna Marie-his wife, Elizabeth, Anna, and Eva, his daughters. George's only son, Joseph, was born February 1851 in Wisconsin..and he also disappears without a trace... Then: --1860 Town of Granville: MICHEL*, George, aged 52; farmer; Prussia; *No "S" here Anna M.; aged 48; wife; Prussia Anna; aged 16; Wisconsin Eva; aged 12; Wisconsin Joseph; aged 10; Wisconsin Their daughter, Elizabeth, had married Heinrich JONEN, by the 1860 Census; they lived in Engelsburg area and were the next owners of George and Anna's farmland. Neither J. P. MICHELS or George MICHELS were shown on the 1870 Granville census. I have checked the church records of both St. Martin's in Granville (now housed by St. Agnes in Butler) and St.Anthony's Catholic Church in Fussville. I check records of both Catholic churches in Watertown and the church records of St. Lawrence (just outside of Jefferson). --From: WATERTOWN DEMOCRAT: Thursday, November 19, 1868: Drowned--Last Friday night, Mr. George MICHELS, a farmer residing near the village of Jefferson, was drowned in this city, having fallen into the river near Bursinger's Brewery, where the old bridge used to stand. His body was acquired last Saturday and taken to his home for burial... I obtained the coroners report, which also gives no further information about who his relatives were or where he was buried...it was ruled an accidental drowning... ---He may be buried in Busse Cemetery off County Road "J" (Pewaukee Road) and Busse Road in Waukesha County, Wisconsin...but the stones are gone-or there never were any and Pewaukee does not have the index for the older graves...he was not buried in a Catholic Cemetery in Jefferson or in the Cemetery just outside of Jefferson near St. Colletta's. He is not buried in St. Martin's Cemetery where his wife is bured--next to her daughter Elizabeth Jonen. Nor is he buried in Milwaukee Catholic Cemeteries. Neither George nor Ann(a) Michael(s) or their children are found in 1870 census anywhere in Wisconsin. --By 1880, George's wife is enumerated by herself/alone: --1880 town of Granville: MICHELS, Anna M.; aged 68; keeps house; Prussia She lives next to Peter Porth and the Neithard families. Anna, Sr. died 3/27/1887; aged 75 years; buried St. Martin's Catholic Cemetery. (Gravestone 1/7/1825 to 3/27/1887) Anna Maria MICHEL(s) is Buried in St. Martin' Cemetery, Englesburg, Granville Township, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin aged 75 years. My gggg-granfather was George MICHELS. He had three daughters and one son that I know of. He married Anna Marie THELEN or THIELEN. Their daughters were Anna, Eva and Elisabeth. They had a son named Joseph MICHELS. H-E-L-P!!! Any ideas to locate George's grave or any more information about him would be greatly appreciated. (I think he arrived in Prussia via terydactyl and left Wisconsin via space ship) Thanks, Susan [email protected]

Vera, as far as obituaries, it wouldn't matter if he died in Glendale, Milwaukee, Shorewood or Whitefish Bay, as the same newspapers serve those areas. They are all continguous cities. I see someone else emailed you that he died in the City of Milwaukee. By the way, all these cities are also in Milwaukee County, so they would all be covered by death records available through the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Your name gave me a start, until I realized it's Hamson, not Hanson. My material grandparents were good end-of-lifetime friends with a childless couple named Carl and Vera Hanson (originally from Denmark via New York). We (my sisters and I) ended up with many of Vera's dishes, knicknacks, etc., and I consider them to be my great aunt and uncle, by soul if not by blood. mrf [email protected] wrote: >Hi, > >I found a Harold Heidelberg (329-38-6712) in the LDS Social Security Death index.

On Thursday at the Milwaukee County Historical society, 910 N. 3rd St. in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin illustrator Ken Stark will sign copies of the book Orphan Train, which he illustrated. The accompanying reception from 7 pm is free. Stark is present for an exhibit of his work illustrating a children's book about the orphan trains, which operated from before the Civil War to 1929. Free snacks, interesting story, a chance to meet others who'd enjoy discussing this subject. If you're in town, consider stopping. For more information: http://www.milwaukeecountyhistsoc.org/programs.htm I'm not a part of the Historical Society, nor do I know the illustrator. Spotted a paragraph in today's paper and thought others might not know of the opportunity. Ashley

According to the online Index of Wisconsin State Deaths: 1959-1979, Harold F. Heidelberg died 27-May-1973 in the city of Milwaukee, County of Milwaukee, at age 80. http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/gen/wi/_vitals/wide59_t.htm The Central Library in Milwaukee will do an obituary search. Use the DITTO service. Costs $5. http://www.mpl.org/File/ditto_order.htm Sometimes volunteers are able to do obituary lookups and charge only their costs (typically 25 cents a copy). If no one on this list is available, you can try posting to the Milwaukee board on ancestry.com http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/board/an/localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.milwaukee Good luck! --- [email protected] wrote: > Hi, > > I found a Harold Heidelberg (329-38-6712) in the LDS Social Security > Death index.
