This is the genealogy of the Wickesberg Family from Wickesberg, Germany.  I  obtained this information from my grandmother, Caroline (Anderson) Voll.  It  is a family tree which was put together by Alfred Wickesberg in December of  1956.  The following was written by him:
 	"Friedrich and Karl Wickesberg, brothers, left Germany in April of  1848 and arrived in Town Herman, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin in June. 	Friedrich was 36 at the time, and married.  Four children accompanied  them.  Three children were born after their arrival in America. 	Karl was a bachelor of 29 at the time of migration.  After arrival  here, he married a first cousin who was on the same voyage with him. 	The trip across was a rugged voyage of 52 days.  The ancestral home  was a hamlet named ?Wickesberg? which is 1 1/2 miles from the village of  Hueckeswagen.  The latter place is 15 miles S.E. of Elberfeld, which in turn  is 15 miles east of the large city of Duesseldorf.
 	The name Wickesberg means 'Hill of the Battle.'  Family records go  back to 1484, and the village was probably founded around A.D. 800. 	Mr. Albert Wickesberg of Appleton made an exhaustive research of the  family in Germany, and the data here on are from his work.  Apparently all the  Wickesbergs on this continent have descended from these two brothers, Fred and  Karl.
 	Any information that any of you can furnish to help complete this work  will be appreciated.  My small efforts in preparing this record are a humble  tribute to this grand and brave group of immigrants who helped build America.   We all owe them so very much."

I appreciate the effort put into this work by Alfred and others.  Seeing this  family tree he created, sparked something in me that encouraged my love for  history, as well as my curiosity of my past family, to add a 21st century  touch to our heritage.  I hope that you all enjoy this and if you have any  information to share with me, I would greatly appreciate it. 	-Zachary Allen Voll
