Introduction The Kurz family is being carefully researched back into the 1600's in the Rheinland of Europe, now called Germany. What has been discovered so far is include. Each generation was a reflection of their own time in history. Within these pages is the story that follows this family down to the first generation of American born ancestors. The journey takes us from Europe to the United States Port of New York. Then on to Wisconsin where the whole first American generation began as pioneers in the northeastern wilderness before Wisconsin became a state. From there we follow some of that generation to Oregon, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wyoming and Minnesota, while others remained in early Wisconsin. Each person established their own family business whether it was a farm, ranch, general store, grocery, meat retail, cattle ranch or orchard. One member often helping another to get started. Keeping in touch with each other through letters and photographs to share their lives. They lived for the future, using their family traditions. The descendant contributors have made every effort for accuracy. This is the beginning project of an ongoing effort to bring our family heritage back together. We realize that most of us are only human, so there will be a continued need to correct and add to this project, hopefully with your help. We also hope you enjoy this first offering. And we invite, and strongly encourage, you to sit down and add your own descendant chapters to this beginning, for your own family. Do it now and give a wonderful gift to those who come after you, by letting them know you care. We offer our best to you, |
