HI - My name is Tory. I live in Wisconsin and am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Madison (Go Badgers!!!) and Lakeland College.

The following are the names that I am researching in parentheses are the areas where the family is from and where they imigrated to. If you would like more information or think their might be a connection, please e-mail me at the address above.

My maternal family names are:
LAMBIE (Scotland to New York to Wisconsin);
MCINTYRE (Scotland to Wisconsin);
DENNY (Scotland to Wisconsin);
TAGGART (Ireland/Scotland to New York to Wisconsin); LICHTFUSS/LIGHTFUSS/LIGHTFOOT (Posen, Germany to Wisconsin); STEINBACH (Province Posen, Germany to Wisconsin);
VOSS (Germany - Province Posen? to Wisconsin); GUNDERSON/GUNDERSEN (Norway to Wisconsin); TOSTENSEN/THORSTENSON (Norway to Wisocnsin);
JOHNSON/JOHANSEN (Norway to Wisconsin);
TATROE - was possibly changed from DUCHARME when immigrated (France to New York to Wisconsin).
*Many of these families settled in either Outagamie or Waupaca County in Wisconsin.*

My paternal family names are:
SUEHS (may have been spelled SÜHS),
PATRI/PETRE/PETRI
SCHMIDT
SEELIG
SCHWANKE
FAHSER
BRAUN
TIMM
DRAHEIM
*I believe that all of the families originated in the Posen or Silesia area's of Germany/Prussia and immigrated to Wisconsin. Many of these families settled in Waushara or Waupaca County in Wisconsin. *

Also, I am researching BARTELT, RITTER, MAHNKE, EURICH, BELLAR, & KALTENBRUN families. (Prussia/Poland to Illinois/Wisconsin areas)

The first 2-12 generation that I have for the above families can be found in the Book link below.
