Immigrant Ancestors

The diagram below shows the timelines of my immigrant ancestors. The green bars indicate the year of immigration. Boxes are color-coded by generation. In some cases, the birth, death or immigration years are approximate; check the individual's data.

Only direct ancestors are listed, though they often travelled with other siblings or children. This is noted in the white boxes on the right.

Note the following interesting facts:

  1. The Bruss family was the first to arrive, in 1839.

  2. Hermann Sterz was my only great-grandparent to immigrate; the other were all born in Wisconsin. He was also the only one to return to Germany for a visit, as far as I know.

  3. Christian Fluegel and Regina Huelke were my only great-great-great-great-grandparents to immigrate. And the Fluegel/Krakow family was the only case of three generations of ancestors to immigrate.
