- | Located south of Milwaukee, it borders Lake Michigan. Milwaukee of course is known as a destination for German immigrants, and some with names like Pabst, Schlitz, Busch, Blatz, and Miller started breweries. At one time over a quarter of Milwaukee residents had been born in Germany. When [[1826_JohValU|Johann Valentin Ungerecht]], came to the U.S. he settled on a farm in Caledonia, close to his in-laws, [[180x_johgeoerbe|Johann George and Eva Catharina Erbe]] who had arrived several years earlier. The Ungerecht farm, located where the rail road tracks cross Seven Mile Road, remained in the family for over 100 years. Descendants of [[1857_carltheou|Carl Ungerecht]] still live in the area, while his brother [[1860_johgeou|George]] moved west to North Dakota. One of George's daughters, [[1895_EmmaEllaU|Emma Ungerecht Pietsch]] came back to the area. She lived in an old farmhouse (made with tenons and wooden pegs) on a couple acres just to the north of Caledonia in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. | + | Located south of Milwaukee, it borders Lake Michigan.
