This article focuses on just one location – the Town of Waterloo, Wisconsin – and incorporates new research. There is overlap between this article and other articles on this website and so it is helpful to read one article completely and then skim the other articles for more information.
A version of the English article was published in March 2021 edition of Naše Rodina. Naše Rodina is a publication of the Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International (CGSI). CGSI promotes the genealogy of the ethnic groups that compromise Czechoslovakia as it was formed in 1918. Its website is found at www.cgsi.org
