AbstractApproximately 12,000 Swiss immigrants came to Wisconsin in the 19th century, according to the U.S. Federal Census. In 1870, three large concentrations of Swiss appeared in Green County with 1,246, Buffalo County 941, and Sauk County with 601. . . . No comprehensive, in-depth study of Swiss immigration to Wisconsin has been compiled. The author has been working on a long-range project since 1980. The goal is to produce brief biographical and genealogical studies of all persons of Swiss birth who resided in Wisconsin prior to 1900.
