[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Archives in Milwaukee area? Historical Society, Trinity Lutheran Church

[Nancy Gertner]

My grandmother that immigrated from Germany lived in Milwaukee with  
her parents from about 1891 - 1900.

I visited Milwaukee in 2000 to do a 'Family History Visit' with my  
husband.  We did a visit to the Milwaukee Historical Society, which  
is a museum in an old bank building.

They have some archive data, and in their file box, I was able to  
find data on grandma's older brothers.

I believe it related to when they applied for naturalization, and may  
have included data on their address in Milwaukee.

My ancestral family came from Prussia, and they attended St. Mattheus  
Lutheran Church in Milwaukee.  Grandma's Confirmation Certificate was  
in German.   This church is no longer, so on Sunday we attended  
Trinity Lutheran Church, which is an old congregation.
