[edit] First white child born in Milwaukee area

The claim in the article that Caroline, born in December 1839, "may have been the first non-Native child born in what is now the Greater Milwaukee area" is not true. Solomon Juneau and his wife Josette Vieau were married circa 1818–1819, and in 1819 settled in what would become Milwaukee. They had 15 children. Also, Milwaukee County birth registrations show 2 children born in 1836, 4 children born in 1837, 11 children born in 1838, and at least 11 children born in 1839 before December. For each of those years, births registered probably represent only a minority of actual births. — Walloon 00:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
