Hi Ellen, I am coming to the genealogy convention in Milwaukee also. I live in Washington state. My gg uncle John Pritzlaff started a hardware store with August Suelflohn. I haven't been able to find the "Sufeld Carriage Hardware" store that you mentioned. The hardware store that John and August started on April 1, 1850 was located at 299 - 3rd Street. It is now part of the Old World Third Street District. There are walking tours of that area but they don't begin until June. I would really enjoy walking those streets with the decendents of people who originally worked in that area. What do you think? I may be talking about a whole different area. Anybody out there have a better perspective than I do on this?
