There are many Lublinites that settled in Oconto County. My Fregin connection is Paulina Fregin - she was married to my great-grandfather, Gustav Adolf Zellmer. Paulina's sister, Emilie, was married to Louis Tietz/Dietz. Both families lived in Gillett, Oconto County, Wisconsin. Paulina and Emilie's mother, Henrietta Majewski Fregin also lived in Gillett. Her husband Friedrich Fregin died prior to their immigration.</div><div><br></div><div>Do these names ring a bell?</div><div><br></div><div>Beth Burke</div><div>Verona, Wisconsin<br><br><br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 255); border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; font-size: 10pt; color: black;">-----Original Message-----<br>>From: Sigrid Pohl Perry <perry1121@aol.com><br>>Sent: May 1, 2015 3:15 PM<br>>To: ger-poland-volhynia@sggee.org<br>>Subject: Re: [Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Germans in Czech Republic?<br>><br>>Hi Stacy,<br>><br>>Most of the surnames you list are familiar to me from indexing parish <br>>records for the Lublin Project.
