Comments: This is a great site. I found Nielsen last names listed in Racine County and am hoping that I can connect with one of my great uncles relatives. I will be in Wisconsin at the end of June/beginning of July and am hoping to find info on the Nielsen and Levien families who lived in Milwaukee and Burlington circa 1882-1889. The Levien's are my great grandparents. I have discovered that when I locate one family I will find the other also.

Comments: STOER/STOEHR/PAAR I am seeking knowledge of and information about my GGGrandparents, Christian Stoehr/Stohr and his wife, Caroline Hauker who arrived in Burlington, Racine County, WI in about 1861 from Alsace. They had six children, Frederick, Matilda, Emma (my Great Grandmother - delightful!), August, Andrew and Ida (married Paar). Both Andrew and Ida remained in Burlington. August (Gus) and Emma went West. What happened to Frederick and Matilda? And where are the descendents of Andrew and Ida? They were still in Burlington in 1944 when Gus Stohr died. Any information greatly appreciated. Nancy Marr-Eckel

Comments: I am researching the life of Captain Jacob S. Andrews (Great Lakes) who died of cholera in Racine 7 Sept. 1849. Jacob was the co-builder with his brothers-in-law of the schooner A. H. Newbold which grounded on Racine Reef in Nov. 1848. I believe he was in Racine overseeing repairs to the vessel when he died. He left a wife Laura nee Donihoo of St. Clair County, Michigan. I am interested in knowing if there was a cholera epidemic at that time; if there is a cholera cemetery, as such, or where Jacob might be buried. Thank you so much, Suzanne

Comments: I am researching the names FRERICH (Frerik) and PIEPER (Peeper). John Herman Frerich and A. Maria Catherina Pieper were married in Burlington, Racine, Wi. on Nov. 3rd or 4th 1851 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. The church record I received gives their names as Hermann Frorig and A. Catherina Pipper with witnesses as Joann Brombeck and Henry Pipper. I am most interested in finding out who their parents were. I hope this will lead me to their siblings as well as information confirming what part of Prussia they came from about 1846.
