Since trying to locate the TOWNS/VILLAGES of origin is one of our main goals as genealogists, this web page will be a help for other researchers -- it should save people time so they don't have to reinvent the wheel in their research.  And, you never know who might contact you from the other side of the pond wondering if this is where their family came to in the US many years ago!

Here's where you can submit your ancestor's immigration information -- just send it to Anne and we'll get it posted to the page here.  And you don't have to have all the columns known -- and because this isn't carved in stone, you can change it or update it at anytime with an email.

NOTE: We've extended this database to include the neighbouring counties of Waupaca and Oconto, since borders changed over the years and people moved from town to town, occasionally crossing county lines.. i.e. Underhill & Gillett to Cecil, etc.

NEW ADDITION: If I have located the Passenger Ship List, it's linked to the surname.  And I'll be adding photographs of the ships as I locate them as well!  The photographs are located on the left bottom of the page -- just click the link and you'll see a scanned image.
