A very interesting post, thank you very much for this. As a genealogist, I could now see where my great-grandfather's brother went when he left Germany in 1883. Maybe I still have relatives in Menasha. I send greetings from Germany.

By the way: It was the Esdepsky-family.
Thank You! These Hometown documentaries are so well done! I hope each town can show these in local schools, to reinforce the advantage of commitment to one’s community!

What a great video!!
Great history here. I do want to mention the paper mill water pollution included with the life building industry.
I still haven't drove over the new Racine St. draw bridge that connects to Doty island.
