In November, 1997, a group of Dutch genealogists attended the Phoenix
sesquicentennial commemoration in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. We met lots of Phoenix survivor
descendants there. This made me realize what an impact the Phoenix had on the community of
Sheboygan, and how much larger this influence could have been if all of these people had
settled there.
