Part 1 (Micro 748, Oshkosh Micro 12): Original Collection, 1852-1965
Note: Researchers in Oshkosh should request Oshkosh Micro 12.

Physical Description: 3 reels of microfilm (35 mm) 
Scope and Content Note

The original collection documents the Krueger family's 1850 immigration to Wisconsin and their life on the family homestead in Emmet township through four generations of Kruegers and Goetsches. The papers are divided into five series: correspondence, genealogical information, ledgers and journals, legal papers, and miscellaneous.

The CORRESPONDENCE series is subdivided into correspondence from relatives in Europe and correspondence from relatives in the United States. English translations of several letters, 1856-1900, to William Krueger from his family in Pomerania are filmed with the originals. His brother and mother wrote concerning family news, crop conditions, and current events. References to their relationship to the local nobility, “the count, countess and baron,” reveal the nature of the obligation of the East Elbian peasant to his protector. The larger portion of the correspondence is from the U.S. relatives and is addressed to August Krueger and to his son Alexander's family. Of special interest are letters between August and Alexander Krueger while the son attended the University of Wisconsin, 1896-1897.

The GENEALOGICAL INFORMATION series traces the Goetsch and Krueger families in Europe and America.

The LEDGERS AND JOURNALS series contain several diary/ledgers kept by August, Alexander, and Edgar. They provide an account of the day-to-day activities of the small dairy farmer as well as of the market prices for his commodities and livestock. The volumes often contain a variety of records including accounts August kept as treasurer of the Town of Emmet, and as director of the Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Hustisford. In addition to farm ledgers there are school notebooks of Alexander Krueger and an account book of a general store owned by Herman, William, and Henry Goetsch in Watertown.

The LEGAL RECORDS series include real estate mortgages, titles, abstracts, surveyors' reports, probate records, and loan certificates, involving the Krueger family and their farm property, 1852-1965.

The MISCELLANEOUS series include receipts, calling cards, an autograph book, scattered financial records, a short history of Town of Emmet School District No. 7, news clippings, and other papers.
