Abstract:

Papers of a family who emigrated from Russian Poland to Wisconsin in the 1890s, consisting of correspondence, personal and business records, a diary, family scrapbooks, photographs, and negatives. The bulk of the collection relates to Estelle Krzyzanowski Schulze (1895-1969) and her daughter, Dorothea Schulze Wong (1920- ), and documents their close relationship, Estelle's marriage, divorce and remarriage to Reinhardt Schulze (1893-1955), Estelle's work as a beautician and owner of several beauty shops in Milwaukee, Dorothea's upbringing and schooling, and their relationships with other family members. Materials which relate to Reinhardt Schulze include correspondence and ephemera from his time in the army, a family sketch, and a few personal papers. The collection also documents Sophia Olszewski Krzyzanowski (1879-1954) and Jacob Krzyzanowski (1871-1933) and their children--Joseph, Muriel, Maryanna, Anthony Benjamin, Helene, Thaddeus, and Jerome--mostly through their correspondence with Estelle, in genealogical materials, and in photographs in the extensive family scrapbooks. Portions of this collection are in Polish.
