I am a German >historian who finished a Ph.D. dissertation on emigration from >Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, to Wisconsin in the 1800s two years ago. I did >a lot of research in Sheboygan County records (land records in the Salt >Lake City FHL, newspapers and many other records at the SHSW in Madison, >and, of course, at the SCHRC) because the Town of Rhine was the stronghold >of Hessian immigration to your state. My book was published in German, but >an English translation is currently in progress. For more information and >an English-language abstract of my research, please go to ><http://www.uni-mainz.de/~hschmahl/HessenWisconsin.htm>http://www.uni-mainz.de/~hschmahl/HessenWisconsin.htm. >I am currently working on a website dealing with German emigration to the >U.S.: <http://www.germanimmigrants.de>http://www.germanimmigrants.de >Please feel free to add my Website to your list of recommended links, if >you think it will interest your readers. >Happy holidays, >Helmut >
