This is the town I left in 1956 to attend University and never came back except for short visits. The whole town was ours to explore, to hike, to bike. We knew everyone and they knew us and kept an eye on us. We were truly raised by a village.
Fascination with our family story hit when I was seven. Oma and Tante Hanni visited our Wisconsin farm from Germany that winter and traveled with us to New Ulm to visit our mother's relatives. The people, places, and stories introduced during that memorable trip were the catalyst for a lifetime's enjoyment of genealogy.
