Our German Heritage

This book is entitled "Our German Heritage" not only because it is written for my family, but also for the many other people - in Wisconsin and beyond - who share some version of what is described here. It is intended to be a resource for three different audiences: - For people interested in how German immigrants influenced life in America, especially in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, - For people interested in the Bloedel, Flick, Graefe, Hesse, Scherr, Schulte, Schulz, Sinner, or Wannemacher family lines, and - For people looking for ideas for investigating their own family trees. Several things make this book special: All of my ancestors going back at least three generations came from what is now Germany and settled in Sheboygan County, where I grew up and live now. It draws upon three trips to Germany where I visited each of the locations where my ancestors lived, examined original documents, and photographed their homes, churches, and environs. Moreover, it includes contributions shared by relatives and genealogists in the United States and Germany. The book describes not only what I has learned from over a decade of intensive probing of my German roots, but techniques, tips, and insights into how I amassed this wealth of information. James E. Schultz, Ph. D.
