    1. Bohemians in Milwaukee
    2. George Pearson
    3. Hi, Our families (Vanasek, Brokish, and Wagner) came from Bohemia in the mid 1800's to Milwaukee. They lived on Mineral St., Elizabeth St., 4th Ave., and also Mitchell St. If I read the old maps correctly, I think that was in Ward 8 . Can anyone please give me advice as to where they might have gone to church? They were Catholic and Bohemian. From looking in the old directories of the time, I see two Churches that were associated with the Bohemian immigrants: 1. "St. Peter's Church (Bohemian) on Martin, nr. Jackson", and 2. Bohemian Catholic Church, near 6th ward school house. Our families were at 721 Mineral St., and 512 Elizabeth St. (now called National), also at 300 4th Ave, and 582 4th Ave.... later they also lived at 492 Mitchell. I would appreciate any insights into that section of the city, and also which of the Catholic Churches they may have attended. Also, if anyone can suggest websites that would have old photos of this section of Milwakee, I would appreciate it. Newbie, George --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
