About Families of Ozaukee County, WI
** WARNING: This site is not up to date - I created it over 20 years ago. I have shifted to www.ozaukeefamilies.com and am attempting to be evidence-based from here on out.
I've left this site up as a service, but I know there are some data points in here that are not correct. If you are using this site, please double-check the information with other resources, especially if you are applying for dual-citizenship. If you would like to email luxembourgish@gmail.com with corrections or additions, someday I may try to update the tree.
This tree began a personal tree, but has grown to encompass most families of the Ozaukee County area and parts of what used to be Washington County (Cedar Grove, Belgium/Lake Church, Dacada, Fredonia, Port Washington) in Wisconsin. Almost 100% of these families originated in Luxembourg, and most emigrated around 1850. The most common surnames are Bley, Feyereisen/Feiereisen, Watry, Kolbach, Schmidt, Lorge, Knaff, Birenbaum, Krier and Jacque. |
