Dr. Minert and a team of researchers at BYU are currently involved in a project wherein they read and extract Americans' German vital records from historic local church vital records. These church records often pinpoint German origins in the "old country." Places and dates of birth, marriage, and previous residence in Germany are commonly found in these records. Dr. Minert estimates that 65-76 percent of historic local church records give an immigrant's exact place of birth. Entries found in the volumes include people born in Switzerland and Austria.

This volume has 18,092 entries which includes information on 7.908 immigrants from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg.

The data for this book is taken from the records of 2 Wisconsin churches, in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County. The churches are St. Stephen Lutheran and Trinity Evangelical Church.

Note that there is a xxxxx name surname index to this book at the end of this entry. To be added soon.
