| Biography* | | They emigrated to the U.S.A., arriving in April of 1893. They acquired a homestead farm in Stark County North Dakota. All their children were born there, except Katie (Katharina) who was born in
Josefsdorf (Joseffalva/ present-day Iosefalau, Romania). Chuck Moran writes further more in his email on feb 22, 2001 to Robert F. Lamping. : The arrival date of the family in North Dakota is not correct, since they didn't arrive in the U.S. until 1893. Also, they moved to Portland in 1919, not "in the 1920's", after Anna Maria's death. [The discrepancies are due to information that my cousin gave for the Stark County book. She was trying to remember what her mother, Katie, had told her. Katie was the only one that stayed in North Dakota.] All of Franz and Anna Maria's children (my mother, Mary, aunts and uncles, except Elsie) have passed
away. |
