Many Germans came to Wisconsin in the 19th century. These settlers cleared the lands and established farmsteads on the frontier. They formed villages, established businesses, built churches, and raised large families. Their descendants carry on their family names to this day. I am experienced in connecting the descendants of Wisconsin Germans to their ancestral roots through my research services.

Parish records are the backbone of German genealogy research. Priests would maintain handwritten records of sacraments such as baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials. These church records are invaluable to establishing multi-generational ancestral kinship. I am experienced in finding and analyzing the church records of Wisconsin Germans, their families, and their ancestors.

Many Wisconsin Germans and their sons fought in the American Civil War to preserve the union. These men were vital to the victory of the north. General Sherman once remarked that “one Wisconsin regiment was equal to an ordinary brigade.” I am experienced in researching the military services of these veterans, as well as researching the histories and accomplishments of the Wisconsin regiments they served within.
