The Polish Pioneers of Calumet, Michigan

This blog explores the Polish community of Calumet, Houghton Co., Michigan. They were not the largest ethnic group- but many Midwestern families trace their ancestry back to a Polish miner in Calumet. The first settlers were from German Poland. The 1910 US Census enumerated miners hailing from Russian Poland and Austrian Poland, as well.
