Description

This volume, an leading edge method to immigration research, is the cooperative project of a group of German and American scholars. The point of interest is on migrants from farming communities along the Rhine who relocated to Wisconsin within the nineteenth century: from the Westerwald to Reeseville, from the Cologne area to Cross Plains, from the Eifel to the so-referred to as Holyland in Fond du Lac and Calumet Counties, and from Rhine Hesse to Washington and Sheboygan Counties. Taking different approaches, the authors of the essays pay attention to the migrants’ relationship to the land, and use, among other sources, official records on either side of the Atlantic, such as census and circle of relatives records, and land registers, plat maps, and land surveys. The broad picture presented here includes the migrants’ situation of their original home, the migration process itself, and their enjoy in Wisconsin.
