of The Making
of Milwaukee

Milwaukee, the largest city in Wisconsin, was built where three rivers -- the Milwaukee, the Menomonee and the Kinnickinnic --  come together, then enter Lake Michigan. Once a location favored by Native American peoples, the town first attracted settlers from New England in the 1830s, then from European countries such as Germany, Ireland, Poland and more. The city's three influential founders were Solomon Juneau, Byron Kilbourn and George Walker, each creating his own settlement that later became part of the metropolis.

Benjamin Church, a young carpenter arrived in 1835 and built hotels, houses and more. Others among our ancestors in early Milwaukee carried the surnames (including maiden names) of Becker, Bradley, Bruss/Bruce, Booth, Ebrey, Speich and Stocker. Here are resources about their city's history, genealogy and more.
