Since these postings, there is a new research resource available for local German-American research: Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items (1844-1950). I've indexed about 125 Hartung entries from daily and weekly papers since 2007 (550+ rolls of microfilm) and the work continues. Other surnames referenced with Hartung include: Streicher Muendner Auer Schueppert Billerbeck Esch Mummert Pattengel Mueller Sellin Salb Weis Rebholz Rauh Schennert Schroeder Wassmer
Contact me directly for specific look-ups from the index.
