The story of the Shombergs from Wisconsin

This blog is the story of my husband John Shomberg’s family.  My mother-in-law Yvonne Marie Shomberg (Bentle) researched her side of the family for years, she spent many hours copying records, by hand, from the libraries, archives and genealogical societies around Wisconsin. Her boxes of handwritten notes, newspapers clippings, photos and more are gone now but her work did not vanish. She collaborated with others doing the same research and her efforts were acknowledged in various genealogical publications.

My research is stored in my computer but I don’t want it to be gone when I am. I wanted to collect mine and Yvonne’s notes all in a book to be available for the next generations.

The family has a long lineage starting with the first settlers, surviving Native American attacks and serving this country in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War.

The list of family names is long and each has a story to tell. I hope to do them justice.
