Pommerscher Verein Freistadt / The Pomeranian Society of
Freistadt

Oldenburgische Gesellschaft für Familienkunde e.V.

About:

People from Germany, as well as ethnic Germans from places such as Bohemia or Prussia, weren’t merely looking for a friendly place to land during the late 1800s, when the biggest wave of German immigrants arrived in Wisconsin.

The main reason people of German ancestry continue to make up a large part of Wisconsin residents is economic opportunity — particularly the affordable farmland Wisconsin offered in the second half of the 19th century.
