I just picked up a really neat book. Some of you might want to consider it as a holiday gift for your favorite Milwaukee genealogist. (I have no financial interest!). The book is called "Milwaukee Then and Now," by Sandra Ackerman. Basically, it's a 144-page photo book, about 11" wide by 10" tall. It juxtaposes almost full-page photos of old-time Milwaukee with a current-day photo of the same location. So, you'll get an idea of which buildings from the past are still standing and which have been replaced by new buildings. There is a paragraph with each photo, describing the history of the location. The book is $17.99. You won't find specific people photos in here, although there are people in some of the old photos. Here is the index from the book: Aladdin's Restaurant Anunciation Greek Orthodox Church Art Flower Shop Ashley, Charles Ashley, Mrs. Charles A. W. Rich & Co.

Thanks Mary. What is in the book on Victor Schulte - he is my husbands ancestor. Where did you buy the book? Karen "Mary R. Frank" wrote: > I just picked up a really neat book.
