Milwaukee itself has some German Heritage and the Milwaukee Public Museum has some related materials in its collection. They might be of assistance and might be able to recommentd other local resources or scholars from the University of Wisconsin. A good first person to Contact at the Milwaukee Public Museum would be Mr. Carter Lupton. The General number at the museum is 414-278-2700 or write to 800 West Wells St., Milwaukee, WI 53233 Good luck it sounds like a neat project Sylvia S.
