Uncovering family in Milwaukee's German papers and uncovering their buried markers in the early "German" cemeteries ...

Uncovering family in Milwaukee's German papers and uncovering their buried markers in our early "German" cemeteries goes hand-in-hand. Add the early church records to make up for the sad loss of this cemetery's records and even more detail emerges: my 2nd-great-grandfather Thomas was a baptism sponsor for the 6 year old memorialized on the east side of this modest monument. His grandfather and mother are inscribed on the west side.

This Müller family also came from Sigmaringen when it was within the borders of Hohenzollern, Prussia.
