Sheboygan's Lithuanian Roots:
1890-1920
Published in 2003 by Balto-Slavic Associates of Seattle, Washington, in conjunction with the centennial celebration of Immaculate Conception Church's founding by Sheboygan, Wisconsin's Lithuanian community in 1903. Balto-Slavic founders, Ann M. Buzaitis and Dena (Simacek-Svajgr) Petersen, have gathered and correlated data from many sources into a 256-page book which provides a focused starting point for researching Lithuanian ancestors from that era. Short narratives of Lithuanian history, reasons for emigration, factors which made Sheboygan attractive to the immigrants, a description of early Lithuanian arrivals and the founding of the Church, and Ms. Buzaitis' personal journey of discovery supplement the data, which is presented graphically in easy-to-read charts, maps and photos. Included are: A 150-page cross-index of the censuses of 1900, 1910 and 1920 with records of the three primary churches serving the Lithuanian community from 1890-1920. The cross-index contains more than 3,000 name entries, includes alternative spellings as found in the various records, maiden names and name changes, family groupings, and years of birth, marriage, death and immigration when known. |
