This is the account of some 240 Prussian families who first migrated to the Ukraine and then re-settled in Marinette and Oconto counties, Wisconsin . The author furnishes the family member's year of birth, date entered the U.S., country of origin, port of entry, and date of death, as well as the name of his spouse, and her dates of birth and death. Also very useful are a number of plat maps showing the distribution of land in the aforementioned counties among East Prussian settlers around the turn of this century.

While glad to have the information since it includes my ancestors, I am very disappointed in the print quality. The photos are especially bad, very dark as if photo copied from an original publication.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2013

Pound, Wisconsin and its surrounding area has a great deal of history. This book is a great read for anyone who has an interest in their history. Because of Michael Anuta researching for many years and then writing this book my father found out about relatives he did not know existed. He found his mother's grave and was able to place a headstone and there is even a picture of where she is buried in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. There are pictures of documents showing the immigration records of when his relative came into the United States through Ellis Island. I am now using this book to help me research so I can attempt to do a family tree to pass on to my children and grandchild. I recommend this book.

East Prussians From Russia

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2001

East Prussians From Russia by Michael J. Anuta Review by DearMYRTLE © 2 February 1999
DearReaders, Originally published in 1979, little paperback book is so full of research ideas that Clearfield had to publish East Prussians From Russia two additional times, in 1994 and 1998. Chapter headings include: East Prussia, the Land and Early History A Refuge for the Persecuted Development under Prussian Rulers Our Forefathers in East Prussia Invitation to Vohlynia and Migration to the Promised Land The East Prussian Settlers in Vohlynia Baptist Faith and Beliefs Change in Russian Political Climate Preparations for a New Migration Journey to the New World The East Prussians in Wisconsin Church Life in Pound, Coleman and Vicinity East Prussians Became Americans
Pages 171-184 provide a list of immigrants, You also find an epilogue titled "Final Pilgrimage." The bibliography is listed on two pages of tiny print, with an additional page of suggested reading. Throughout the book are rough photocopies of maps, churches, farmlands, people tombstones, documents and such. From the publisher: "Following the subjugation of the indigenous Prusi people by the Teutonic Order during the 13th century, the region known as eastern Prussia emerged as a kind of haven for Christian settlement. During the 1860s, however, numerous East Prussians migrated to the Ukraine and the Russian province of Vohlynia in search of more abundant land. The promise of a better life in Russia proved to be short-lived, however, owing to the abolition of serfdom, universal military conscription, and Russian ethnocentrism. As a result, by the 1890s, large numbers of East Prussians from Russia began to emigrate to the United States, with many, like the author's parents, settling in Wisconsin.
This is the account of that historic pilgrimage, and it devotes ample space to both the European heritage of these Prussian-Americans and the Wisconsin settlements that ensued. Based upon years of research, East Prussians from Russia identifies some 240 Prussian families that re-settled in Marinette and Oconto counties, Wisconsin. Mr. Anuta furnishes the family member's year of birth, date entered the U.S., country of origin, port of entry, and date of death, as well as the name of his spouse, and her dates of birth and death. Also very useful are a number of plat maps showing the distribution of land in the aforementioned counties among East Prussian settlers around the turn of this century. Profusely illustrated, East Prussians from Russia also includes maps, facsimiles of source records, photographs of homes, schools, churches and other evidence of settlement in Germany, Russia, and Wisconsin."
If your ancestors spoke a German dialect and settled in either Marinette or Oconto county of Wisconsin at the end of the 19th century, you'll find this book a precious "window to the past." East Prussians from Russia is essential to your understanding of their hopes of a better life, the disappointments of life in Russia, the rigors of the final journey and establishment of permanent homes in the US.
East Prussians from Russia by Michael J. Anuta copyright 1979 295 pp. in all, Indexed. Illus. (1979), 1998. ISBN 0806314370

East Prussians From Russia

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2000

This is an excellent book for researching geneology from the Prussian (Eastern Germany) area. The book includes many pictures of the area in Prussia, Russia, and a list of names of the immigrants to northeastern Wisconsin. This list includes information such as: country of origin, port of entry, year of entry, spouses, and as many birth and death dates as the author could locate. It also includes a great deal of history of the Eastern Prussian area, life in East Prussia, and what prompted many people to immigrate first to Russia and then to America. The book goes on to provide a history of the Pound, Wisconsin area and it's people, complete with pictures.
