| Abstract | "A simple family history research project evolved into a detailed examination of a significant German Bohemian immigration to Calumet County in eastern Wisconsin. . . . Highlighted by scores of family names that populate northeastern Wisconsin to this day, [this book] provides context to a wealth of information compiled from sources in Germany and the Czech Republic. The area of western Bohemia, located in today's Czech Republic, in which these families resided saw an end to feudalism at roughly the same time as Wisconsin earned statehood in 1848. These changes brought about high hopes for a better life on both sides of the Atlantic, leading to a steady stream of German Bohemian emigrants that lasted for several decades." -- back cover. |
