DATABASE OF FOREIGN-BORN MILLSTADT AREA RESIDENTS:

Robert Buecher is currently compiling a database of foreign-born Millstadt area residents. Included are foreign-born settlers who resided in Millstadt Township (including the village of Millstadt), Stookey Twp., and part of Sugar Loaf Twp. The information comes from his 30+ years of genealogical research in Millstadt area church records, cemetery records, and newspapers. Information found in each entry varies but usually includes birthdate, birthplace, and other biographical information. There are currently over 1400 entries but eventually there may be as many as 2000 entries. Mr. Buecher will be pleased to share his information with other Millstadt area researchers. He may be contacted at one of the addresses shown at the beginning of this web page. Those wanting a reply by U. S. mail are asked to enclose a # 10 size self-addressed stamped envelope.
