| Abstract | Boltz family members came from the villages of Leimersheim and Germersheim in the Pfalz. Andreas Boltz departed from LeHavre, France, for America in 1853, and settled across from Senz's/Sanse's Mill near the village of Rome, Wisconsin. Carl and Charlotte Boltz sailed in 1869 for America and also came to Sullivan Township near Rome. Bakertown was a small settlement "at the junction of County P and Bakertown Road, where the church was located." Includes information on the Free-Will Baptists, the image of Wisconsin in the eyes of German-speaking emigrants, the sea voyage from Europe to America, Native Americans in Wisconsin, the earliest white settlers, Bakertown and Rome, and Milwaukee. |
