I haven’t read it yet, but I am interesting in reading the new book in the Images of America Series by Frank Alioto entitled, Milwaukee’s Brady Street Neighborhood. It is 128 pg paperback.
There is a book signing at Regano’s Roman Coin (1004 E. Brady Street) on Monday, Feb. 4 from 5-7 pm.
If you aren’t able to make the book signing, you can order the book online through my bookstore.

We are looking for information on Lena (Jindra) Hartigan. She is the youngest child of George and Mary (Krcmarik) Jindra. Her date of birth is after 1880. She was probably born in Wisconsin.
She is mentioned in her sister Anna’s obituary in April 1943 as living in Seattle Washington. Her brother Frank’s obituary in 1964 states that she is deceased. We do not know what her husband’s name is.

Jindra/Meineke Family History Tour
Jindra Christmas, Dec. 29th 2007
written by Michael Jindra

The relatives, descendants of Alvin and Leona Meineke Jindra, visited former farmsteads and homes in the Mishicot and Two Rivers areas where Alvin and Leona and their ancestors lived and worked. Alvin’s grandparents, George and Mary Jindra, Sr. immigrated from Bohemia in 1868 and farmed near Mishicot, while Leona Meineke’s German grandparents settled on farms north of Two Rivers near Hwy 42 in the 1840’s and 50’s. The tour included stops at farms and buildings near Kingsbridge, southwest of Mishicot, where the first generations of Jindras farmed and operated businesses, and also the former cheese factory on Hwy Q just south of Kingsbridge which Alvin and Leona operated after their marriage in 1914, and where children Ethel (Breitwisch) and Al were born.
