Gottlieb Georgii History 2

1. Introduction The descendants of Gottlieb Georgii have been described in a previous monograph: “The Daniel O’Connell Family of Southington, Connecticut” from the point of view of the O’Connell family. We will refer to this document as the “O’Connell History”. Gottlieb’s son, William August, married Daniel O’Connell’s daughter, Sarah. In this monograph, we wish to expand the family tree of Gottlieb to include his German ancestry. The current history will be referred to as the “Georgii History”. Some of the material from the O’Connell History will be repeated for the purpose of continuity, but the emphasis will be on Gottlieb and his ancestors. New material concerning his life in the United States will also be included. Some of this new history will be concerned with his early life, and the life of his descendants in New Jersey.

2. Gottlieb: The Early Years Gottlieb Georgii was born in the municipality of Plüderhausen in the Stuttgart administrative region of the German state of Baden-Württemberg on 12 March 1869. His parents were Jacob Friederich Georgii and Luise Wilhelmine “Elise” Ober. Jacob’s parents were Georg Christoph Georgii and Anna Maria Banzhaf. On 12 January 1889, a boy is born to Luise Maria Ober in Leonberg, also within the Stuttgart administrative region of Baden-Württemberg. The boy is named Jacob Gottlob Ober. He is illegitimate and the father is not named. The witnesses to the baptism on 21 January 1889 are Jacob Georgii of Plüderhausen and Maria Ober. Luise Maria Ober will later marry Gottlieb Georgii. Her parents are Carl Gottlieb Ober and Anna Maria Georgii. Anna Maria is the daughter of Georg Christoph Georgii and Anna Maria Banzhaf. Gottlieb Georgii and Luise Maria Ober are first cousins. Gottlieb Georgii arrived in New York City on 31 May 1893 and passed through Ellis Island. He travelled aboard the German Ship Bremen in compartment B, amidships, and gave his intended destination as New York City. His occupation is basket maker. Gottlieb was listed as 26 years old; he was therefore born about 1869. His family name is spelled “Georgi” in the passenger manifest. Luise Ober, now listed as Louise Ober, arrives in New York on 26 October 1893 and passed through Ellis Island. She departed from Bremen, Germany, on the ship Aller. Her age is given as 26, yielding a birth year of about 1867. Gottlieb Georgii and Luise Ober were married on 12 May 1894 in Manhattan, New York. According to the marriage certificate, both were living at 537 E 11 Street in Manhattan. He was 25 years of age and she was 26; both are single. The birth places and parent names are the same as given above. The marriage was performed by a minister, whose name appears to be Francis G. Schneider, who lives at 109 2nd Avenue. The witnesses were Ernst and Barbara Strecker.

Gottlieb Georgii History 1 On 29 January 1895, a child by the name of Gottlob Georgii arrives in New York and passes through Ellis Island. Gottlob is 6 years old (born about 1889) and is accompanied by a 21 year, 9 month, old woman by the name of Mina Ober. Mina would have been born in the 1873 to 1874-time frame. Gottlob Georgii is Jacob Gottlob Ober, soon to be known as Charles Georgii. A WWI draft card gives Charles birth date as 12- January 1889 in Germany. We believe that Mina Ober is the sister of Luise Maria Ober: Wilhelmina Magdelina Ober, born 10 March 1873 in Leonberg, Baden Württemberg, Germany. The New York City directories for 1897 and 1898 show Gottlieb Georgii, a basket maker, living at 634 E. 13th St. Note that the family name is spelled Georgii and there are a number of directory entries with the family name Georgi. The 1900 census for Manhattan shows Gottlieb and Louisa living on Avenue A with three children. Louisa claims to have been married 12 years. 1. Georgii, Gottlieb: Head. Born March 1870 in Germany, age 30, married 12 years. Immigration: 1893, occupation: basket maker. 2. Georgii, Louisa: wife. Born September 1867, Germany, age 32, married 12 years, 3 children, 3 children living. Immigration: 1893. 3. Georgii, Charles: son. Born January 1888, Germany, age 11. Occupation: school. 4. Georgii, William, son. Born April 1895, New York, age 5. 5. Georgii, Adolph, son. Born December 1897, New York, age 2. Note that the census states that the youngest son, Adolph, was born in 1897. Adolph’s WWI draft card, filed in 1918, states that he was born on 25 December 1896. The New York City birth index states, in one case, that he was born on 23 December 1896. Another New York index states that he was born on the 25th of December 1896. Assuming Adolph knew his own birth date, we will place it on Christmas Day, 25 December 1896. William Georgii was born with the name Wilhelm August Georgii on 30 April 1895 in Manhattan. According to the birth certificate, the address of the birth is W535 11th Street, which is also the residence of his parents Gottlieb and Louise Marie Georgii.

William will marry Sarah O’Connell. Their marriage is discussed in the O’Connell History. GOTTLIEB AND LUISE GEORGII IN MANHATTEN ABOUT 1898 WITH THEIR THREE SONS (LEFT TO RIGHT) CHARLES, ADOLPH, AND WILLIAM

Gottlieb Georgii History 2 By 1902, Gottlieb Georgii is listed in the city directory for Passaic, New Jersey. He is a basket maker living on Van Dyke Avenue near Jordan Avenue. The same is true in 1904 and 1906, though the area he lives is called Wallington. His family name is again spelled “Georgi”. A 1905 New Jersey census lists him as a basket maker living in Carlstadt, Bergen County. Since city directories are usually a little out of date, The Georgii family probably moved to Carlstadt in the 1904 to 1905 time frame. The family name is spelled “Georgi”. 1. Georgi, Gottlieb, born March 1868 in Germany, age 37. He is an alien living in the U.S. 11 years. Occupation: basket maker. Can read, write, and speak English. 2. Georgi, Louisa, born September 1867, in Germany, age37, Occupation: house work. Can read write, and speak English 3. Georgi, Charles, born January 1889 in Germany, age 16. Occupation: apprentice. 4. Georgi, Willie, born April 1895, New York, age 10. 5. Georgi, Adolph, born December 1896, New York, age 8. The 1909 Carlstadt city directory shows Gottlieb Georgii as a brass worker who works across the river in New York. He lives at 114 1st street in Carlstadt. Also listed at that location is Charles, a driver. Louisa Ober Georgii died on 27 January in East Rutherford (Carlstadt) New Jersey. She is buried in the Berrylawn Cemetery. Louisa was only 41 years old. The 1910 federal census for Carlstadt lists Gottlieb and his three sons living on Monroe Street. The census was taken on 23 April 1910. Note that the family name is spelled Georgi. 1. Georgi, Gottlieb, Head, age 42, widower. CHARLES, ADOLPH, AND WILLIAM GEORGII. Born in Germany, immigrated 1880. Occupation: polisher at brass works. 2. Georgi, Charles, son, age 21, born New York. Occupation: driver of grocery wagon. 3. Georgi, William, son, age 15, born New York. 4. Georgi, Eddie, son, age 13, born New York. On 23 May 1912, Gottlieb applied for a passport. The application was made in Hoboken, Hudson, New Jersey. The family name is spelled Georgi. The document states that he was born in “Briedehausen”, Wurttemberg, Germany on or about 12 March 1869. He probably had a strong German accent, so Plüderhausen became Briederhausen. The application continues to state that he emigrated to the United States, sailing on board the EMS from Bremen on or about 30 May 1893; that he resided 19

Gottlieb Georgii History 3 years uninterruptedly in the United States from 1893 to 1912 at Carlstadt, New Jersey. He was nationalized as a citizen of the United States before the Open Court of Common Pleas at Hackensack, New Jersey on 22 September 1905. Hackensack is in Bergen County. Gottlieb further testifies that his permanent residence is Carlstadt with the occupation of “foundry”. He plans to go abroad temporarily and return within two years. The physical description of Gottlieb is as follows: age 43; height 5 feet 10 inches; forehead high; eyes blue; nose small; mouth mustache; chin broad; hair blonde; complexion light; face oval. There is a passenger record for the arrival of a Gottlieb Georgi in New York on 1 August 1912. This Gottlieb arrived aboard the ship President Grant, which had departed Cuxhaven Germany on 20 July 1912. The age is correct for our Gottlieb (43), but other information is difficult to read. It is possible that Gottlieb returned to Germany for a short visit shortly after he received his passport. The year 1914 shows the first foray of the Georgii family into Southington, Connecticut. Gottlieb “Georgi” is listed as a farmer with a home at Wonx Spring Road. near Marion Avenue in Plantsville (a village within Southington). Boarding at the same location are Adolph and William Georgi. Adolph and William are employed by H.D. Smith and Company. This company are “manufacturers of carriage and bicycle forgings”; the are located on W. Main Street in Plantsville. We lose track of Gottlieb until 1920. Adolph has moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut according to that town’s directories for 1916 to 1919, and his WWI draft card dated 1918. The 1916 directory shows Adolph Georgi as a machinist rooming at 576 Broad Street. The 1918 directory shows Adolph “Georgia” as a machinist rooming at 532 Carroll. The same is true in the 1919 Bridgeport directory. Despite the name variations, we know that this is Adolph Georgii because of the information on his WWI draft card, issued on 5 June 1918. According to the draft card, Adolph Georgii, age 21, resides at 532 Carroll Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was born on 25-December 1896 in New York City. The name of his employer is J. Hennessy and his place of employment is the Lake Torpedo Boat Company in Bridgeport. His father was born in Germany. Adolph lists his father, Gottlieb Georgii, as his nearest relative, indicating that he is not married. Gottlieb’s address is given as Plantsville, Connecticut. We assume this is the Wonx Spring Road, near Marion Avenue, home. Adolph’s physical description is given as tall, medium build, with blue eyes and light hair. William Georgii’s draft card, issued 5 June 1917, shows him as being single and living at the Marion Avenue home. William August Georgii is 22 years old, and living on Marion Avenue in Southington, Connecticut. He is a natural citizen born 29-April 1895 in New York, New York. William is an electroplater, employed by the Rowe Calk Company in Plantsville. He claims a draft exemption based upon “defective vision”. His physical description is tall, medium stature, with blue eyes and light hair. We should also note that there is nobody with the name Georgii, or anything similar, in the 1917 Southington Directory. William appears in the 1920 Southington directory, after he has married. Gottlieb does no appear in that directory, though he does appear in a New York census.

Gottlieb Georgii History 4 Charles Georgii, first son of Gottlieb, has changed his last name to “George” by the time of his 1917 draft registration. Charles George was listed as 28 years old on 5 June 1917. He lives at 773 Hunterdon, Newark, New Jersey. Charles is a naturalized citizen born on 12 January 1889 in Leonberg, Wurttemberg, Germany. He is employed as a salesman by E. Braun in Newark. Charles has a wife and two children and claims a draft exemption based upon his need to support a family. Charles is of medium height, medium build, with blue eyes and light hair. The 1917 Newark city directory shows an Edward A. Braun wholesale cheese Salesman. This is probably who Charles worked for. Charles George is shown in the 1918 Newark directory as a salesman with a home at 773 Hunterdon. Charles George married Anna Radke about 1912 in New Jersey. His brother, William, married Sarah O’Connell in 1919, Southington, Connecticut. We will look at these families in a later section. Now, we will focus on Gottlieb’s life.

3. Gottlieb, the Later Years. The 1920 census shows Gottlieb Georgii in Ridgewood New York, a borough of Queens. He is 50 years old on the day the data was taken: 14 January 1920. On his birthday, 12 March, he will be 51. Gottlieb’s occupation is farmer and he owns a farm. One could assume that this farm is in Queens, where he is living, but it might be his farm in Plantsville, Connecticut. Gottlieb is listed as the head of a family located at 37 Mount Olivet Avenue. His wife is listed as Catherine Georgii. One might ask why Gottlieb would leave Plantsville and go back to the New York in order to marry a widow with three grown sons. One possibility is that they already knew each other. The 1920 federal census contains the following information: 1. Georgii, Gottlieb, head, age 50, born Germany, immigrated 1892, naturalized 1900. Gottlieb owns his home and it is mortgaged. 2. Georgii, Catherine, wife, age 52, born Germany, immigrated 1888, naturalized 1900. 3. Krapf, Fred, stepson, age 30, single, born New York. Occupation: clerk, burial, at cemetery office. 4. Krapf, Edward, stepson, age 22, single, born New York. Occupation: florist, own business. 5. Krapf, Carl, stepson, age 18, single, born New York. Occupation: placer, insurance broker. Clearly, Catherine was once married to a man by the name of Krapf. It is not clear how long her relationship with Gottlieb has been going on, or whether they are actually married. We find a clue in the WWI draft card for Edward Henry Krapf, dated 24 August 1918. Edward Henry was born on 13 July 1897 in Mospeth, Queens, New York. He lives at 37 Mount Olivet Avenue in Maspeth, Queens. This is the address where he is self-employed. The name of his nearest relative is Catherine Georgii, who lives at the same address. This information supports the claim that Gottlieb and Catherine are married. Edward’s physical description is given as: height tall, stature medium, eyes blue, and hair brown. There is also a draft card for Fred A. Krapf signed 5 June 1917. Fred is 27 years old, born 2 November 1889 in Queens, New York. His address is 37 Mount Olivet, in Queens, a natural born citizen. He is single and a clerk employed by Manamacker at Aster Place in New York City. Fred is tall with a medium

Gottlieb Georgii History 5 build. He has grey eyes and light hair. Manamaker must be a misspelling because I can find no such place or person. We know that he worked as a clerk in a cemetery. The earliest record we have of this Krapf family is an 1892 New York census for Newtown, a borough in Queens. The borough is now named Elmhurst. We learn that Catherine was originally married to Edward Krapf, laborer, born in Germany. Their first child was born in Germany. The information in this New York census is as follows: 1. Krapf, Edward, age 28, born Germany. Occupation: laborer. 2. Krapf, Catherine, age 24, born Germany. 3. Krapf, Frederike, age 4, born Germany. 4. Krapf, Frederick, age 2, born United States. Edward was born about 1864 in Germany. He and Catherine had their first child, a daughter, in Germany in 1888, so we assume they were married there about 1887. Their son Frederick (Fred) was born in the United States about 1890 (2 November 1889 in Queens), so we assume they immigrated to New York about 1889. We have not found such an immigration record. We have not found a marriage record in Germany or the United States. We do find a birth record for Eduard Heinrich Krapf. He was born on 6 October 1863 and baptized 11 October 1863 in Schorndorf, Württemberg, Germany. Today, Schorndorf is located in the Rems-Murr-Krei, Stuttgart Region of Baden-Württemberg. This is the same region as Plüderhausen where Gottlieb was born. If this is the same Edward Krapf, it is possible they knew the Georgii family. We cannot find a 1900 federal census showing the Krapf family. We know that Catherine’s son, Carl, was born about 1902 in Queens., so Edward died sometime between then and 1910. The 1910 census shows Catherine as the head of the family. At that time, Gottlieb is also a widower in Carlstadt, New Jersey and is living with his three sons. The 1910 census for Queens, New York, shows the following: 1. Krapf, Catherine, age 43, head, widow, born Germany. 2. Krapf, Frederick, age 20, son, born New York, Single. Occupation: fireman at crematory. 3. Krapf, Bertha, age 18, daughter, born New York, single. Occupation: weaver at silk mill. 4. Krapf, Edward, age 13, son, born New York. 5. Krapf, Charles, age 9, son, born New York. 6. Krapf, Frederick, age 25, nephew, single, born New York. Occupation: laborer florist. A new daughter, Bertha, has been added to the family while another, Frederike, has left. Frederike probably was married. Bertha probably was born after the 1892 New York census data was taken. We also see that a nephew is living with the family and contributing some income. The son named Charles is probably the one named Carl in all the other records. The relationship between Gottlieb and Catherine does not seem to have lasted for very long because a 1924 city directory for Southington shows him and a wife named Dora living at the Wonx Spring Road address in Plantsville. No occupation is given. His son, William A. Georgii has been married to Sarah O’Connell. He is employed by the Stanley Rule and Level Company in Plantsville. William and Sarah live

Gottlieb Georgii History 6 at 951 South Main Street in Plantsville. They were married on 30 April 1919 in Southington and had two children by 1924: William Paul (22 June 1920) and Mary Louise (4 August 1923). It is probably fair to believe that Mary Louise was named after her grandmother Luise Maria Ober. The same directory information is given for Gottlieb and William in 1926. In the 1920 directory, however, William and Sarah have moved to Marion Avenue near Wonx Spring Road, while Gottlieb and Dora live at Wonx Spring Road at the corner of Marion Avenue. Since Wonx Spring forks off of Marion Avenue, they may live in the same house or in two homes on the same property. William works at what is now called the Stanley Works, while Gottlieb is again described as a basket maker. The 1929 directory repeats the same information. The 1930 directory shows the same for Gottlieb, but William and Sarah have moved to 114 West Main Street in Plantsville. He is now described as a steel temperor, presumably at the Stanley Works. The remainder of the children of William and Sarah have been born by 1931. Daniel Robert was born on 9 October 1925; Adolph was born 27 November 1926; David Stephen was born 27 March 1928. We know from other sources that a second daughter, named Catherine, was still born about 1930. It should be noted that we have not found any information about Gottlieb’s son Adolph after 1919, when he was living in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The 1930 national census for Gottlieb Georgii shows that he and Dora live on Wonx Spring Road, and includes the following information:

1. Georgii, Gottlieb, head, age 61, married, born Germany. Age at first marriage: 25. GOTTLIEB AND DORA GEORGII AT WONX SPRING Gottlieb owns his home, which is valued at ROAD RESIDENCE IN PLANTSVILLE, CONNECTICUT. $4000. He immigrated in 1893 and has been naturalized. Occupation: basket maker, own business. 2. Georgii, Dora, wife, age 66, married, born Germany. Age at first marriage: 21. Immigrated in 1891 and naturalized. Note that Gottlieb was 25 years old when he was first married. This is consistent with being married to Luise Maria Ober on 12 May 1894 in Manhattan. Dora is older than Gottlieb. She was born about 1864 and immigrated from Germany in 1891 at the age of 27. Since she was 21 at the time of her first marriage, so she was originally married in Germany in 1885.

Gottlieb Georgii History 7 Meanwhile, back in Queens, New York, Catherine is using the name Krapf again; she is still living with her three sons. A 1925 New York census for Ridgewood Borough, Queens, shows the Krapf family still living 37 Mount Olivet on 1 June. The census includes the following information: 1. Krapf, Catherine, head, age 57, born Germany. Lived 37 years in the United States. Citizen by marriage. Occupation: housework. 2. Krapf, Fred, son, age 35, born United States. Occupation: office clerk. 3. Krapf, Edward, son, age 27, born United States. Occupation: florist. 4. Krapf, Carl, son, age 23, born United States. Occupation: broker office. There is similar information in the 1930 federal census for Queens. The family is still living at 37 Mount Olivet on 15 April. Catherine, called Katharina, is listed as mother of the head of the house (Fred). She owns the home; it is valued at $5000. The remainder of the information is as follows: 1. Krapf, Katharina, mother, age 62, born Germany, widow. Immigration 1888; citizenship: alien. 2. Krapf, Fred A., head, age 40, born New York, single. Occupation: clerk Lutheran cemetery office. 3. Krapf, Edward, son, age 32, born New York, single. Occupation: florist at florist shop. 4. Krapf, Carl W., son, age 28, born New York, single. Occupation: clerk insurance broker office. Gottlieb Georgii is found at the Wonx Spring address in a 1933 Southington directory. William and Sarah are living at 305 Bristol Street in Plantsville. He is a hardener at the Stanley Works. However, by 1936, Gottlieb and Dora have moved to the town of New Britain, Connecticut. New Britain borders Southington to the North, so it is not a big move. They have a home at 321 Park Street. The address is the same in 1937. Gottlieb is listed as a basket maker working at this address. Gottlieb Georgii died on 22 January 1938 in Southington, Connecticut. Presumably, his actual home was still in New Britain. We have no more information concerning Dora. We have no more information concerning Catherine Krapf, except for a death index entry for a Katherine Krapf, age 73 (born about 1868) who died 24 April 1941 in Queens, New York. We do not find her in the 1940 census. There is a record for Fred A. Krapf in that census. He is living at 6729 Metropolitan Avenue with his wife Louise. There is no other family. This information is confirmed by his 1942 WWII draft card. The complete address is 6729 Metropolitan Avenue, Maspath borough, Queens.

4. Gottlieb’s Children: Adolph and William Georgii We have no additional information concerning Gottlieb’s son Adolph, except that he attended the wedding of William and Sarah O’Connell. The O’Connell family was the subject of the afore mentioned O’Connell history. William was born 30 April 1895 in Manhattan, New York. Sarah was born 27 December 1892 in Wareham, Massachusetts. William and Sarah were married in Southington, Connecticut, on 30 April 1919. At the time of the marriage, as recorded on the marriage license,

Gottlieb Georgii History 8 William was 24 years old, lived on Marion Avenue in Plantsville, and worked as a mechanic. Sarah was 26 years of age and lived on Curtiss Street in Southington. Sarah is the daughter of Daniel John O’Connell and Mary McNamara, who were married in Fall River, Massachusetts on 3 October 1887. Daniel was born on 5 April 1855 in Halifax, Canada. His father, John Thomas, was a member of the British army and was stationed in Halifax at the time of Daniel’s birth. The family eventually moved to Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Mary was born in July 1856 in Merthyr Tydfil. It appears that William’s brother, Adolph, came from Bridgeport to be in the wedding party. He appears in a photo showing the two, plus Sarah and her sister Ellen O’Connell. The 1920 federal census shows William and Sarah Georgii living at 131 West Main Street in Plantsville Village, Southington, Connecticut. William is a drop WILLIAM GEORGII, SARA O’CONNELL-GEORGII, forger in an iron forging factory. William is listed as ELLEN O’CONNELL, AND ADOLPH GEORGII AT being born in New Jersey, instead of New York. The O’CONNELL HOME ON CURTISS STREET, census data, taken on 3 January 1920, is as follows: SOUTHINGTON, CONNECTICUT. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE WILLIAM AND SARAH GEORGII WEDDING 1. Georgii, William, head, age24, born New PARTY IN 1919. Jersey, home rented. Occupation: drop forger, iron forging factory. 2. Georgii, Sarah, wife, age 27, born Massachusetts. The 1920 Southington directory shows William living at 113 West Main Street, Plantsville, not 131 West Main. His occupation is listed as machinist at the Blakeslee Forging Company in Plantsville. Blakeslee does drop forging and makes carriage hardware. In the 1924 directory, William and Sarah have moved 951 South Main in Plantsville. He works at the Stanley Rule and Level Company. This is also true in 1926. The 1927 directory shows them moving back to Marion Avenue, near Wonx Spring Road, near Gottlieb and Dora. William is employed by the Stanley Works, which we assume is the old Stanley Rule and Level Company. The information is the same in 1929.By 1930, the Southington directory shows William and Sarah moving to 114 West Main Street and William working as a steel “temperer”, presumably at the Stanley Works. At the time of the 1930 federal census for Plantsville Village in Southington, Connecticut, taken on 21 April, William and Sarah are still living on Marion Avenue. All his living children are born by this time. A daughter named Catherine was still born around 1930. The census data is as follows:

Gottlieb Georgii History 9 1. Georgii, William, head, age 35, born New York. Rents home at $17 per month. Married at age 24. Occupation: hardener at hardening factory. 2. Georgii, Sarah, wife, age 37, born Massachusetts. 3. Georgii, William, Jr., son, age 10, born Connecticut. 4. Georgii, Mary, daughter, age 6, born Connecticut. 5. Georgii, Robert, son, age 4 7/12, born Connecticut. 6. Georgii, Adolph, son, age 3 6/12, born Connecticut. 7. Georgii, David, son, age 2 1/12, born Connecticut. The 1933, 1936, 1938 and 1940 Southington directories show that William and Sarah have moved to 305 Bristol Street in Plantsville. William is still a hardener at the Stanley Works. The 1940 federal census for Southington, dated 6 April, confirms the Bristol Street address. The remainder of the data is: 1. Georgii, William A., head, age 44, born New Jersey. Highest grade of school completed: 8. Occupation: hardness tester, hardware. 2. Georgii, Sarah A., wife, age 46, born Massachusetts. Highest grade: 8. 3.

Georgii, David, son, age 12, born Connecticut. Highest grade: 6. By 1945, the Georgii family has moved to 50 East Summer Street in Plantsville. This will be the final home for William and Sarah. The 1947 Southington directory shows that all of the Georgii boys are still in the Armed Services. The information in the 1947 directory is as follows: 1. Georgii, William A. (Sarah A.), hardener, Stanley Tools. Resides 50 East Summer Street, Plantsville. 2. Georgii, Adolph in U.S. Navy. Resides 50 East Summer Street. 3. Georgii, David, in U.S. Army.

Resides corner of Buckland Street and Milldale Avenue, Plantsville. 6. Georgii, Dorothy F, machine operator Allied Control Company. Resides corner of Buckland Street and Milldale Avenue, Plantsville. Note that William, Jr, has married “Dorothy F”. Dorothy F is Dorothy Fischer. They were married on 22 December 1945 in Southington. Before proceeding further, we give the full birth information for William and Sarah’s children: 1. William Paul Georgii, born 22 June 1920. Died 13 September 2003 in Southington, Connecticut. Married Dorothy Gertrude Fischer on 22 December 1945 in Southington. Dorothy was born on 21 March 1924 in Southington. She died 6 May 2003 in Southington.

The 1963 and 1964 San Diego, California directories show Adolph and Akiko living in National City. Adolph is still in the Navy. In 1963, their address is 1132 east 7th Street. In 1964, they have moved to 947 Melrose. Very little has changed in Southington, except that Daniel Robert is not listed as being in the Navy. Also, a person name Luigi Georgii has been added to the directory. Luigi is not related to the other Georgii families.

5. Gottlieb’s Children: Charles George Charles Georgii remained in New Jersey after his father moved out of the state. He married Anna Radtke or Radke about 1912 or 1913. Anna was born on 26 December 1888 in Newark, New Jersey. Her father, Carl “Charles” Radtke, was born in Germany about 1856. Anna’s mother, Augusta Kasilke, was born in Germany about 1860. The 1914 Carlstadt, New Jersey, directory shows Charles Georgii living at the same address as his father: 114 1st Street. He is employed as a driver. His WWI draft card shows Charles George living at 773 Hunterdon Street in Newark, New Jersey. The card is dated 5 June 1917. He has a wife and two children. He was born 12 January 1889 in Leonberg, Württemberg, Germany; he is a naturalized citizen. His occupation is salesman employed by E.

The 1920 Federal census for Irvington, New Jersey, taken on 2 January, shows the Charles and Anna George family living at 28 Tremont Street. This is confirmed by the 1920 city directory for Irvington, which lists him as a salesman. They have two children. The data is as follows:

Gottlieb Georgii History 14 1. George, Charles, head, age 30, born Wurttemberg, Germany, rents home. Parents born Wurttemberg. Immigration year 1895, naturalized 1910. Occupation: Salesman cheese. 2. George, Anna, wife, age 31, born New Jersey. Parents born West Prussia, Germany. 3. George, Gladys, daughter, age 6, born New Jersey. 4. George, William, son, age 3 4/12, born New Jersey. The 1930 Federal census for Maplewood, New Jersey, tells us that Charles and his family have moved to 12 Franklin Avenue. They have added a third child, Edward. Charles is the proprietor of a wholesale cheese business. This address and business are confirmed by the 1930 city directory In the directory, he is known as Charles G. George. This would make sense as much as his middle name is Gottlob. It also helps to distinguish from several other men named Charles George. The 1930 census, dated 16 April, gives us the following information: 1. George, Charles, head, age 41, born Germany. Age at first marriage 23. Owns his home, valued at $8000. Occupation: proprietor wholesale cheese. 2. George, Anna, wife, age 41, born New Jersey. Age at first marriage 23. Parents born Germany. 3.

Their full names and birth information is as follows: 1. Gladys George, born about 1914, Irvington, New Jersey. 2. William Charles George, born 10 August 1916 in Newark, New Jersey. Died 1 November 2000, Lakehurst, New Jersey. Marred Winifred A. Sink on 10 August 1939 in Newark, New Jersey. 3. Edward Frederick George, born 20 September 1920, Newark, New Jersey. Died 5 December 1998, Sea Girt, New Jersey. The 1940 Federal census for Maplewood, New Jersey shows Charles and Anna George still living 12 Franklin Avenue. Two of their children, Gladys and Edward are living with them. The data, recorded on 13 April, contains the following: 1. George, Charles, head, age 51, born Germany. Owns house valued at $4200. Highest grade education: 7. Occupation: wholesale distributor, cheese. 2. George, Anna, wife, age 50, born New Jersey. Highest grade education: 7. 3. George, Gladys, daughter, age 26. Highest grade education: high school 2 years. Occupation: file clerk, varnish company. 4. George, Edward son, age 19, born New Jersey. Highest grade education: high school 4 years. Charles’ son, William Charles George, married Winifred A. Sink on 9 September 1939 in Newark, New Jersey. They were married in the Kilburn Memorial Presbyterian Church. The handwritten record makes her last name look like “Link”. At the time of the marriage, William was living at 12 Franklin

Gottlieb Georgii History 15 Avenue, Maplewood. Winifred was living at 61 Lindsley Avenue, Newark. Winifred is the daughter of Charles Sink, born April 1879 in Newark, and Beatrice Elizabeth Reed, born about 1895 in England. Charles’ family name was originally “Zink”. Charles’ father, John (Johann) G. Zink was a cabinet maker born in Germany in February 1885. He arrived in New York in April 1881 and was naturalized 3 August

1886 in New York City. At that time, he and his family were living at 150 CHARLES GEORGE FAMILY IN 1946. LEFT TO RIGHT: WILLIAM CHARLES “BILL”, ANNA RADKE GEORGE, CHARLES, EDWARD Forsythe Street, New York City. By FREDERICK “ED”, AND (PROBABLY) GLADYS. 1897, the Zink family was living in Newark, New Jersey at 293 Springfield Avenue. The family appears in the 1900 National Census at 664 South 14th Street. In this census, Charles Zink is shown to be born in Germany in April 1879. This differs from all other records which state that he was born in New Jersey. John was married to a German woman named Frederika, who was born September 1858. At the time of the 1900 census, they had been married for 22 years, or about 1878. This gives credibility to Charles being born in Germany, not New Jersey, given that they did not arrive until 1881. William and Winifred George are listed in the 1940 National census as living in Elizabeth, New Jersey. They live in an apartment building at 1022 North Broad LEFT: SARAH AND WILLIAM GEORGII.

We have no further information about William and Winifred.

6. Gottlieb Georgii and Luise Maria Ober Genealogical Connection We are going to begin describing the Georgii Ancestry. As stated in Section 1, Gottlieb and Luise Maria are first cousins. Even more, they are double first cousins (if that is a term), since each carries a half Georgii and half Ober genome. This is complicated enough to deserve a separate section before proceeding with the remainder of the ancestor tree. Note that the ancestor tree is not complete unless we give equal weight to both the Georgii and Ober branches. George Christoph Georgii was born on 6 June 1801 in Steinreinach, Rems-Murr-Kreis, Stuttgart, Baden- Württemberg, Germany. He was the son of Jacob Georgii and Clara Margareta Wagner.

Catharina was also born in Plüderhausen. She was born on 29 November 1845 and died there on 21 March 1916, about 8 months before her husband. Catherina was a daughter of Matthäus Wörhl (born 21 December 1814 in Plüderhausen) and Friederike Schanbacher (born 29 April 1841, also in Plüderhausen). Christoph and Catharina had five children, all born in Plüderhausen. (1) Carl Gottlieb Georgii was born on 17 February 1869. He married Luise Sophie Schneider on 26 March 1894. She was born there on 6 December 1871. (2) Catharina Georgii was born on 9 August 1870. She had an illegitimate child, Marie Wilhelmina Georgii, born 9 June 1892.

He married Henriette Dorothea Kuhn on 28 April 1900 in that city. She was born on 2 October 1872 in Metzingen, Reutlingen, Tübingen, Baden-Württengen. Henriette Dorothea is the daughter of David and Dorothea Kuhn. Karl and Henriette Dorothea had seven children, most of whom died early. Karl died on 28 December 1950 in Ludwigsburg. Henrietta Dorothea died there on 20 March 1957. (5) Maria Georgii was born on 8 February 1878 in Plüderhausen. She married Karl Ludwig Greiner on 17 October 1907 in Plüderhausen. He was also bornin that city, on 29 January 1883. Karl Ludwig was the son of Johann Greiner and Christian Katharina Kerler. 11. Johann Georgii was born on 17 September 1842 in Plüderhausen. He died three days later on 20 September. 12. Anna Maria Georgii, the third, was born on 13 October 1843 in Plüderhausen. She lived for about a year and a half, dying on 3 March 1845. 13. Anna Maria Georgii, the fourth and final, was born on 19 July 1845 in Plüderhausen. She died in Leonburg, Böblingen, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg in May 1928. Anna Maria married Karl Gottlieb Ober on 14 October 1866 in Plüderhausen. Karl Gottlieb was born in Leonburg on 24 October 1841 in Leonberg. He was the son of Johann Ober (born 30 July 1805 in Heimerdingen, Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg) and Friederika Christiana Biedermann (born 19 May 1811 in Leonberg). Anna Maria and Karl Gottlieb will have twelve children, all born in Leonberg. (1) Luise Maria Ober was born on 7 September 1867 in Leonberg. She will marry Gottlieb Georgii on 12 May 1894 in Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. She will die on 27 January 1909 in East Rutherford, Bergen, New Jersey, USA. Gottlieb is the son of Jacob Friederich Georgii and Luise Whilhelmina Ober, as described previously. Gottlieb died in Southington, Hartford, Connecticut, USA on 22 January 1938, after marrying twice more in America. Since this entire history report is focused on Gottlieb and Marie Luise, we will not

Gottlieb Georgii History 23 discuss them here. (2) Gottlieb Wilhelm Ober was born on 8 February1869. He died at the age of seven on 30 March 1876. (3) Anna Maria Ober was born on 10 May 1870. (4) Karl Wilhelm Ober was born 3 January 1872. He died on 27 August 1942, at the age of seventy, in Schwäbisch Hall, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. It appears that Karl Wilhelm married a woman named Marie and had a daughter named Luise Wilhelmina Ober, born 15 May 1901 in Leonberg. (5) Wilhelmina Magdalina Ober was born on 19 March 1873. We believe that she is the “Mina” Ober the accompanied Jacob Gottlob “Charles” Georgii, the oldest son of Gottlieb Georgii and Luise Marie Ober to New York. The pair arrived there on 29 January 1895 on the S.S. Friesland. Mina is described as a “maid servant and she is traveling with a six-year- old Gottlob Georgii. Mina’s age is 21 years, 9 months. This would give her a birth date of May 1873, which is very close to the birth of Wilhelmina Magdelina. (6) Gustav Adolf Ober was born on 26 October 1874. On 14 November 1908, he married Karolina Luise Baumgärtner, aka, Luisa Karolina Paumgertel, in Aldingen, Tuttlingen Freiberg, Baden-Württemberg. She was born in that town on 19 May 1879.

John Louis was born in Switzerland in 1888. They lived in Passaic County, New Jersey for several years. They both died in New London County, Connecticut. (9) Emilie Rosina Ober was born on 23 January 1884. We have no further information. Note that this is seven years after Anna Martha. It is possible that some children are missing from the record. (10) Frieda Sophie Ober was born on 1 May 1885. She gave birth to an illegitimate son on 1 December 1912 in her hometown of Leonberg. The boy was named Hermann Gottfried Ober. (11) Friederika Christine Ober was born on 31 March 1886. She married Wilhelm Roth on 1 October 1908 in Gerlingen, Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg.

She died in Plüderhausen on 1 March 1913. She is the daughter of Johann Ober (born 30 July 1805 in Heimerdingen, Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Baden- Württemberg) and Friederika Christianna Biederman (born 19 May 1811 in Leonberg). Jacob Friederich and Luise Wilhelmina were the parents of 16 children. Most the children were born in Plüderhausen. The first three children were born out of wedlock before the marriage. We know that the second child was fathered by Jacob Friederich. The other two probably were. 1. Adolph Friederich Ober Was born out of wedlock to Luise Whilelmina on 31 July 1857. He married Elizabetha Friedeike Fink on 17 May 1886 in Plüderhausen. Elizabeth Friederike was born Zuffenhausen, Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg on 17 November 1824. She was the daughter of Christoph Fink (born 31 January 1819 in Zuzenhausen, Rhein- Neckar-Kreis, Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg) and Elizabetha Friederike Widmann (born 17 November 1824 in Zuffenhausen). Note that Adolph Friederich was eleven years younger than his wife. Since she was forty years old at the time of the marriage, it is possible she had a previous marriage. 2. Jacob Gottlieb Georgii was born out of wedlock to Jacob Friederich and Luise Wilhelmina on 3 March 1861 in Leonberg. He married Anna Maria Thudium on 26 April 1886 in Plüderhausen. Anna Maria was born Oberwalden, Göppingen, Stuttgart, Baden- Württemberg. She is the daughter of Jacob Thudium (born 10 April 1824 in Oberwalden) and Christine Vetter (born 10 January 1829 Wangen, Göppingen, Stuttgart, Baden- Württemberg). We believe they had 5 children, all born in Eislingen, Goppingen, Baden- Württemberg, Germany. Anna Maria died there on 12 November 1918. Jacob Gottlieb died there, 17 years later, on 24 January 1935. 3. Gottlieb Wilhem Johann Georgii was born out of wedlock to Luise Wilhelmina on 25 August 1862 in Leonberg. He died in Leonberg three months later, on 24 November 1862. 4. Gottlob Christoph Georgii was born on 9 July 1864 in Plüderhausen. He died there on 2 April 1866. 5.

On 7 April 1890 he married Anna Maria Geiger in Plüderhausen. She was born on 5 May 1864 in Hößlinswart, Rems-

Gottlieb Georgii History 25 Murr-Kreis, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. She is the daughter of Johann Geiger and Anna Maria Schoor. Carl Gottlob and Anna Maria had at least three children, all born in Plüderhausen. 8. Gottlieb Georgii was born on 12 March 1869 in Plüderhausen. This is the Gottlieb Georgii that is the focus of this history report. His life has been described in full in previous sections of this report. Gottlieb married Luise Maria Ober on 12 May 1894 in Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. Luise Maria was born on 12 January 1867 in Leonberg, Böblingen, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. She was the daughter of Karl Gottlieb Ober (born 24 October 1841 in Leonberg) and Anna Maria Georgii (born 19 July 1845 in Plüderhausen). Gottlieb’s father (Jacob Friederich Georgii) and Luise Maria’s mother (Anna Maria Georgii) are brother and sister. Gottlieb’s mother, Louise Wilhelmine Ober, and Luise Maria’s father, Karl Gottlieb Ober, were also siblings. Luise Maria died in East Rutherford, Bergen, New Jersey. Gottlien died on 12 May 1938 in Southington, Hartford, Connecticut. After Luise died, Gottlieb either married or lived with a widow by the name of Katherine Krapf in Queens, New York. Krapf was the family name of her previous husband, Edward Krapf. Edward and Katherine were both born in Germany. Gottlieb later appears in Southington living with a woman named Dora. Dora is presumably a widow. She was born in 1864 in Germany. Dora died in October 1937 in Southington. Gottlieb had three children, all sons, by Luise Maria. The first was (1) Jacob Gottlob Ober, later, in America, known as Charles Georgii. Jacob Gottlob Ober was born in Leonberg on 21 January 1889. After Gottlieb and Luise Maria were married in Manhattan, “Gottlob” Georgii was escorted to America on the Ship Friesland; he arrived at Ellis Island on 29 January 1895. Gottlob was age six. His escort was named Mina Ober, age 21 years, 9 months. This Mina would have been about May 1873. Luise Maria has a sister named Wilhelmina Magdelina Ober, who was born on19 March 1873 in Leonberg. We believe that this is the Mina Ober that accompanied Gottlob, i.e., Charles. Charles Georgii changed his family name to Charles George. He will live in New Jersey for his entire adult life. He married Anna Radtke about 1812. They had three children born in Essex County, New Jersey. (2) William August Georgii was born in Manhattan on 30 April 1895. He moved to Southington, Connecticut, where he married Sarah O’Connell on 30 April 1919. Sarah was born on 27 December 1892 in Wareham, Plymouth, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Daniel John O’Connell (born 5 April 1855 in Halifax, Nova Scotia) and Mary McNamara (born in July 1856 in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales). See the O’Connell History for the details. William August and Sarah had six children, all born in Southington (in Plantsville, a village within Southington). (3) Adolph Georgii was born on 25 December 1896 in Manhattan. We know very little about Adolph. He was in Southington in 1914 and attended his brother William’s wedding in 1919. During WWI, he worked at a defense plant in Bridgeport, Fairfield, Connecticut. We have no death date, but believe it was in Southington.

Karziska was born there on 26 February 1853, the daughter of Johann Friederich Zürn and Maria Suzanna Geiger or Seifer. We have a record for one child, Anna Ober, born 19 February 1876 in Leonberg. Karziska died there on 20 April 1893. The second marriage was to Caroline Christiane Seufer on 12 November 1893 in Leonberg.

On 3 December 1874, she had married Johann Strübel in Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. He was born there on 10 February 1843; he died in Stuttgart on 30 March 1891. Johann was the son of Georg Strübel and Suzanna Bosch. We have no record of any children. 13. David Wilhelm Ober was born on 30 December 1852. He died in Großbottwar, Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg on 17 April 1885. David Wilhelm married Luise Christiana Baumann on 10 September 1878 in Großbottwar. She was born on 23 October 1857 in Lippoldsweller, Rems-Murr-Kreis, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. Her father was Johann Baumann, born 16 September 1827 in Backnang. Johann married Maria Luise Elser on 14 July 1857 in Heutensbach, Rems-Murr-Kreis, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. Marie Luise was born there on 13 August 1831. David Wilhelm Ober had five children. None lived long enough to marry. Karl Gottlieb “Gottlieb“ Ober was born on 24 October 1841 In Leonberg, Böblingen, Stuttgart, Baden- Württemberg. He died there on 13 January 1919. He married Anna Maria Georgii on 14 October 1866 in her hometown of Plüderhausen, Rems-Murr-Kreis, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. She died in Leonberg in May 1928. As mentioned previously, Anna Maria was the daughter of Georg Christoph Georgii and Friederika Christiana Biedermann (see previous section). Karl Gottlieb and Anna Maria will have twelve children, all born in Leonberg. 1. Luise Maria Ober was born on 7 September 1867. She died in East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA, on 27-January 1909. She married her first cousin, Gottlieb Georgii, on 12 May 1894 in Manhattan, New York, USA. Gottlieb was born on 12 March 1869, the son of Jacob Friederich Georgii and Luise Wilhelmina Ober. He died in Southington, Connecticut, USA on 22 January 1938. Before they were married, they Luise Maria gave birth to the first of three children, all sons, in Leonberg. Since most of this Georgii history is centered upon the lives of Gottlieb and Luise Maria, we will not detail their life in this section. The three sons are (1) Jacob Gottlob Ober, aka Charles Georgii, aka Gottlob Georgii, born 21 January 1889 in Leonberg. He died on 23 November 1955 in East Rutherford, Bergan, New Jersey, USA; he lived there under the name Charles George. Charles married Anna Radtke, or Radke, in 1912 somewhere in New Jersey. Anna was born in Newark, Essex, New Jersey on 26

Gottlieb Georgii History 32 December 1888. Her parents, Carl “Charles” Radtke and Augusta Kasilke were born in Germany (possibly West Prussia). Anna died in Irvington, Essex, New Jersey in May 1872. (2) William August “Bill” Georgii, born 30 April 1895 in Manhatten, New York, USA. He died in Southington, Hartford, Connecticut on 19 September 1956. He married Sarah O’Connell in Southington on 30 April 1919. She was born on 27 December 1892 in Wareham, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA. Her father, Daniel John O’Connell, was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Daniel’s father, John Thomas O’Connell, was in the British army and was stationed there at the time; he was born in Port Talbot, Glamorgan, Wales in 1825. Daniel John died in Southington in 1925. Sarah’s mother, Mary McNamara, was born in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales in July 1856. (3) Adolph Georgii was born on 25 December 1896 in Manhattan. We do no have much more information about him. 2. Gottlieb Wilhelm Ober was born on 8 February 1869. He died at the age of seven in Leonberg, on 30 March 1876. 3. Anna Maria Ober was born on 10 May 1870. She died there at the age of six, on 7 September 1876. 4. Karl Wilhelm Ober was born on 30 January 1872. He died in Schwäbisch Hall, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg on 27 August 1942. He married Maria Krageisen, probably around 1900 in Leonberg. They had a daughter named Luise Wilhelmina Ober, who was born on 15 May 1901 in Leonberg. 5. Wilhelmina Magdelina “Mina” Ober was born on 19 March 1873. We believe that this is the “Mina” Ober that accompanied Gottlob “Charles” Georgii, the first son of Gottlieb and Luise Maria Georgii to Manhattan. The immigration through Ellis Island occurred on 29 January 1895 on the ship Friesland. We have found no further information. 6. Gustav Adolf Ober was born on 26-10-1874. He married Karolina Luise Baumgärtner, or Karolina Luise Baumgärtner, on 14 November 1908 in Aldingen, Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. She was born in that town on 19 May 1879. Her father was Johann Gottlieb Baumgärtner, born 10 October 1844 in Aldingen. Her mother was Christiana Margaretha Kloz, born 4 August 1847 in the same town, where she married Johann Gottlieb on 14 November 1908. 7. Jacob Adolf Ober was born on 21 February 1876. We have no other information. 8. Anna Martha “Martha” Ober was born on 16 July 1877. She died on 22 May 1962 in Neuenstein, Hohenlohekreis, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. On 29 December 1900, She married Albert Wilhelm Müller, aka Wilhelm Albert Müller, in Leonberg. A year earlier, Anna Martha had given birth to a daughter named Martha Ober in Plüderhausen. Martha will emigrate to the United States and marry, as will her sister Frieda Rosa Müller. Albert was born in Jerichow, Jerichower Land, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The parents of Albert Wilhelm were Otto Müller and Minna Scheer. The children of Albert Wilhelm and Anna Martha are: (1) Martha Anna Ober, aka, Martha Anna Müller, born 6 December 1899 in Plüderhausen.

Gottlieb Georgii History 33 She died on 1 February 1976 in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA. The ship manifest for the S.S. Olympic shows Martha arriving in New York on 4 April 1923. The ship had departed Cherbourg, France, on 28 March. Her occupation is listed as “domestic”. Her nationality is listed as German. Her last residence is listed as Switzerland. She gives the name Albert Muller of Stuttgart, Germany, as nearest relative or friend. Two days after arriving in New York, on 6 April 1923, Martha married John Louis Blattler, aka Johann Luis Blättler, in Manhattan. John Louis was born in Kerns, Obwalden, Switzerland on 21- February 1887, the son of Melchior Blattler and Marie Ettlen. He died in New London, New London, Connecticut on 7 July 1959. He had immigrated to Manhattan, New York City on 22 December 1922, also aboard the S.S. Olympic out of Cherbourg. It appears that John Louise had been in New York in 1910. A person listed as Johann Blatter arrived there on 4 March 1910 aboard the S.S. Chicago, out of Le Havre, Normandy, France. This person was 22 years old, was a resident of Kerns, Switzerland, and gave the Melchior family as a contact. In the 1922 manifest, “Johann Batter” gives his occupation as farmer, his languages as German and English, his nationality as Swiss, his race as German and his last residence as Giswil, Obwalden, Switzerland. On the same day that John Blatter arrived immigrated to New York, 22 December 1922, he declared his intention to become a citizen in the district court of New York. He declares that he arrived on or about 20 December 1922 aboard the S.S. Olympic. He declares that his last foreign residence was Switzerland, that he is 35 years old and was born in the canton of Obwalden, Switzerland on 21 February 1887. John Blatter is a farmer with fair complexion. His height is 5 feet 3 inches; his weight is 165 pounds. John has brown hair and grey eyes. Martha Anna was not naturalized until 1 February 1945 when she was living in Norwich, New London, Connecticut. John and Martha had five children. All, except the last, were born in Passaic County, New Jersey. Marie Martha Blattler was born on 7 July 1923 in Patterson.She married John T. Skulczyk. Frieda G. Blattler was born on 14 November 1924i in Wayne. She married Elias William “Willie” Skulczyk. These two men appear to be brothers. Albert Charles Blattler was born on 29 January 1926 in Wayne. He married a woman named Anna. John Louis Blattler was born on 11 May 1929 in Wayne. He married Alice E. “Betty” Newton in Montville, New London, Connecticut. Cynthia Arlene Blattler was born on 24 July 1934 in Northfield, Litchfield, Connecticut. She married Elliot Arthur Dombroski in Norwich. (2) Emma Augusta Müller was born on 29 January 1901 in Burg bei Magdeburg, Jerichower Land, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. We believe she married Ernst Rommel and lived in the Stuttgart region of Germany. (3) Frida Rosa “Rose” Müller was born on 15 August 1905 in Leonberg. Rose died in December 1986 in Damarest, Bergen, New Jersey, USA. She married Paul Meer, probably in New Jersey, about 1927. She and Paul had a son, Paul Meer, Jr., born on 13 June 1928 in Wyckoff, Bergen, New Jersey. We have not found an immigration record for Rose. Her husband, Paul Meer, was born in Griswil, Obwalden, Switzerland, on 17 February 1898. Note that Obwalden is the same Swiss Canton from which John Blatter, the husband of

Gottlieb Georgii History 34 Martha Anna, came. According to a February 1923 travel record, Paul Meer was to travel to the United States on the S.S. Pittsburgh out of Cherbourg, France. His birthplace is Griswil, Switzerland and his current residence is Bowil, Bern, Switzerland. His occupation is listed as “mechaniker” or mechanic. His purpose was to visit, not emigrate. The ship manifest for the Pittsburgh shows that this Paul Meer left Cherbourg on 14 February 1923 and arrived in New York City on 26 February 1923. He is listed as an unmarried mechanic, age 24, whose country of origin is Switzerland. The ultimate destination is Madison, Dane, Wisconsin. This might have been the wrong Paul Meer. A 1924 city directory for Harrison, Hudson, New Jersey shows a Paul Meer working as a machinist. He resides at 311 Davis Avenue. The next record we have is the 1930 census for Wyckoff, New Jersey. He is married to Rose [Müller] and has a son named Paul, as noted above. He is 32 years old and born in Switzerland. She is 24 and born in Germany. His first marriage was at age 29; her first marriage was at age 22. They rent a home on Wyckoff Avenue for $35 per month. This would appear to be the first marriage for each of them. Paul is a machinist at an airplane company. The 1940 census for Midland Park, Bergen, New Jersey shows Paul working as a machinist at Wright Aeronautical Corporation in Woodbridge. The family lives at 426 Godwin Avenue in Midland Park. This information is the same in the 1960 city directory. (4) Wilhelm Max Müller was born on 14 May 1907 in Leonberg. We have no further information. (5) Mina Hedwig Müller was born on 20-September 1913 in Leonberg. She died on 31 July 1970 in Schwäbisch Hall, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Mina Hedwig married Eugen Löffler in Leonberg on 28 January 1935. He was born on 12 January 1910 in Bad Rappenau, Heilbronn, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany He died in 1938 in Leonberg. Eugen was the son of Martin Löffler and Christina “Lina” Mugele. Martin was born on 4 August 1880 in Bad Rappenau. He married Christina there on 24 February 1906. She was born in Kesselfeld, Hohenlohekreis, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, on 15 February 1880. We believe that Eugen and Mina Hedwig had two or three children. One of these was a daughter named Helga Ursula Löffler, who lived in New Jersey for a time. We have a record of Helga Ursula arriving in New York via Lufthansa Airlines on 19 February 1959. Her birth date is given as 18 November 1939. Her birthplace, and permanent residence, is Neuenstein, Germany. Her United States address is given as 426 Godwin Avenue, Midland Park, New Jersey. This is the address of her aunt Frida Rosa [Muller] Meer (see above). Mina Hedwig remarried on 29 March 1948 in Neuenstein, Hohenlohekreis, Stuttgart, Baden- Württemberg, Germany. Her second husband was Wilhelm Schneider Sinn. He was born on 18 March 1910 in Neuenstein. There is no record of a previous wife. Wilhelm was the son of Albert Sinn and Emma Flack.

Gottlieb Georgii History 35 Following are some photos related to the Ober-Muller family. The hand-written comments might be from Martha Ober-Müller, who married John Blatter in New York and who lived in New Jersey and Connecticut. They might also be from her mother Anna Martha [Georgii] Ober for her daughter. Note that grossmutter and grossvater translate to grandmother and grandfather. Tante and onkel are aunt and uncle (although the person writing on the photos uses the abbreviation “u.” for uncle).

Gottlieb Georgii History 36

Some members of the Ober-Müller family. Grossmutter and Grossvater Ober are sitting near the front. These would be Karl Gottlieb and Anna Martha [Georgii] Ober. Grossmutter Müller, on the far right, would be Minna [Scheer] Müller, the wife of Otto Müller.The older children appear to be those of Gottlieb and Anna Maria, but much guesswork is involved. All were born in Leonberg, Germany. In the back row, Adolph might be Gustav Adolph Ober, born 26 October 1874. Jacob may be Jacob Adolf born 21 February 1876. Wilhelm may be Gottlieb Wilhelm, born 8 February 1869. The woman next to him, called Rosa Ober might be Emily Rosina, born 23 January 1884. The young girl in the front may be Emma Auguste Ober, born 1 January 1890. Behind her, is Aunt Frida, who may be Frieda Sophie Ober, born 1 May 1885.

Gottlieb Georgii History 37 One of the daughters of Karl Gottlieb and Anna Maria Ober was Martha Anna Ober. She was born in Leonberg, Germany, on 16-Jule 1877. Martha Anna married Albert Wilhelm Müller on 29 December 1900 in Leonberg. Two of their daughters moved to the United States, as noted above. The first was Martha Anna Ober-Müller, born 6 December 1899 in Plüderhausen. The second was Frida Rosa “Rose” Müller, born 15-August 1905 in THE OBER SISTERS MARTHA BLATTER, ROSE MEER, AND EMMA ROMMEL Leonberg. Another sister was (LEFT TO RIGHT) TAKEN IN DECEMBER 1966. PRESUMABLY, THE PHOTO Emma Augusta Müller, born WAS TAKEN IN NEW JERSEY OR CONNECTICUT. EMMA WAS PROBABLY 29-january 1901 in Burg bei VISITING FROM GERMANY. Magdeburg, Germany. Martha emigrated to New York, arriving on 4 April 1923. Her previous residence was Switzerland. Two days after arriving, she married John Blatter in Manhattan. John was born in Kerns, Switzerland on 21 February 1887. His birth name is Johann Luis Blattler. They moved to New Jersey and then to New London, Connecticut. We do not know when Rose emigrated, but she married another Swiss resident, Paul Meer, probably around 1927 in New York or New Jersey. They had a son named Paul, who was born on 13 June 1928 in Wyckoff, New Jersey. Paul was born in Griswil, Switzerland on 17 February 1898. The accompanying photo shows the three sisters Martha, Rose and Emma taken in 1966. Presumably, the photo was taken during a visit by Emma from Germany to the United states. The photo to the right shows the Paul Meer family: Paul and Rose Müller Meer, Paul, Jr., and a young girl that we have not identified. The photo was taken in Paul and Rose [Müller] Meer in 1945. Paul 1945, presumably in Midland Park, New Jersey. Jr. is to the right. Unidentified girl is in front of Rose.

Gottlieb Georgii History 38 John and Martha Blatter had a daughter named Martha. She was born 7 July 1923 in Patterson, Passaic, New Jersey. Martha married John T. Skulczyck, who was born about 1916 in New York City. The photo below shows Martha and John.

Gottlieb Georgii History 39 9. Georgii in German History Introduction We can trace the direct ancestors of Gottlieb Georgii back to Johann and Margaretha Barbara Georgii. They were probably born around 1670 in what now is known as the German state of Baden- Württemberg, Germany. The Georgii family has documented roots that go back much farther. It turns out that the Georgii family emigrated from Switzerland. The original family, who may have gone by the name Georgii or Schorsch, came from the northern Italian region of Lombardy. The names Schorch, Jörg, Georgi and Giorgi all are equivalent to the name George in English. They became the family names Georgii, Schorsch, etc. The following information is taken from books and articles written in German. In most cases, they are written in the archaic German of the 19th century. This, plus the use of military, royal, and civilian titles, makes the translations difficult. One also must remember that the map of Europe was quite different at the time of the early Georgii family from what it is today. For much of the history to make sense, the reader needs to have knowledge of such things as the Holy Roman Empire and the Thirty Years War. The goal of this section is simply to name a few notable members of the Georgii family throughout German history. I was able to snatch a few relevant facts from the books and produce a translation for each person that makes some sense. The reader can “Google” most city and territory names encountered below. I wish I knew how the Gottlieb branch of the Georgii family fits in with the individuals outlined below. We do know that the Württemberg Georgii families all extend from this Italian-Swiss heritage. There is another Georgii family in northern Germany which extends from Russian-Polish roots. I know very little about them. All the books that I referenced can be downloaded from Google Books. If anyone can give me better translations, I would appreciate the help. I hope my family members will enjoy what little I have accomplished here. Think of it as a few minutes of entertainment and a short journey into the past. Since the first edition of this history, I have expanded upon the information about the descendants of some of the Georgii family members described below. One discovery was that several Georgii descendants moved to the United States in the 19th century. A few might even be considered pioneers of the Western frontier (what we now refer to as the Midwest). Others came later and became prominent in their Midwest communities. They married into families that had originally moved westward from New York and other states on the Eastern Seaboard. I found these stories to be fascinating. I hope the reader feels the same. Early Georgii Family In the year 1298, a family by the name of Georgii, or Giorgi, or Schorsch emigrated from Pavia, in Lombardy, Northern Italy, to Splügen in Grisons, Switzerland. Grisons is the German name for the area; it is called Graubündten in Switzerland. This information comes from the 1837 handwritten records of Colonel von Schorsch, who died in Andeer in Grisons, Switzerland at the age of 75 years [Ref. 2].

Gottlieb Georgii History 40 Though now a canton in Switzerland, it was not a member of the Swiss Confederacy at the time. It was still part of the Holy Roman Empire. Graubündten translates to “Grey League”; it was part of a confederacy of three leagues. The name came from the color of the clothes worn by the residents of the area. By 1325, Georg Georgiis had moved his family to Rheinwald in Graubünden. Rheinwald is a valley running East-West. For centuries, the Georgii family held respected state offices in Valtellina, Switzerland, or distinguished themselves in military service, and were involved politically in the region. The region, generally referred to as Raetia or Rhaetia, was a province of the Roman Empire and included parts of Switzerland, Bavaria, Lombardy, and Württemberg. There were several wars involving religion (Protestant - Catholic) and control of the passes in Graubünden. Georg von Georgii, Governor of Graubünden, was a minister in the signing of the Second Müsso War Peace treaty in 1531. Another of these wars was called the Bündner Wirren (1618 – 1639). In 1622, there was a treaty involving Austria. Ritter (Knight) Georg von Georgii was sent as an envoy to the court of Archduke Ferdinand to sign on behalf of the high court of Rheinwald and Shams, Grisons. A later treaty was signed by Ritter Georg von Georgii and Ritter Jörg von Schorsch. Georg Georgiis By 1325, moved from Splügen to Rheinwald, Graubünden, Switzerland. He is the origin of Georgii and Schorsch families in Germany and Switzerland. Georg von Georgii, Governor In 1531, Governor and Minister of Graubünten, Switzerland, in the signing of the second Müsso war peace treaty with Johann Jacob de Medices. Shortly after, became envoy to Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. Georg von Georgii, Knight Ritter (Knight) Georg von Georgii signed the January 1622 treaty ending the Bünder Wirren.

While there is evidence that all three spouses existed, we have found no evidence of the actual marriages. The first marriage is to Heinrich Osten, baptized 23 December 1667 in Erfurt, Thuringinia, Germany. They were supposedly married on 4 May 1691 Strasbourg?). The second marriage is to Johann Michael Erhardt, sometime between 1712 and 1715. He was born on 15 May 1659 in Wildberg, Baden-Württemberg. He died 8 February 1724 in Stuttgart.

Rudolph arrived in Salem, Ohio with his first cousin Otto in 1848 (see above). Rudolph Georgii and Julia Georgii appear in the 1850 census for Salem. He is listed as a farmer. She is born in German and is 22 years old. Also listed is a Ludwig Wolf, age 23. We cannot find either Rudolph or Julia Georgii in any later census. We have assumed that Julia is his wife, but relationships are not noted in the 1850 Census. It is possible that Julia is his sister Julia Luisa Carolina Dorothea Georgii, born 19 Sep 1827 in Esslingen. That Julia married Julius Kohler on 18 April 1852 in Esslingen. It is possible that she visited America and then decided to return to Germany. Rudolph is listed in a German emigration application index. The application is dated September 1850. The birthplace is listed as Esslingen; the destination is North America. A letter was written on his behalf by an attorney on 15 August 1852 as part of a passport application. The letter states that Rudolph has a certificate of naturalization and that he is planning a trip to Germany for a term of one year. The attorney resides in Ottawa County, Ohio. A passenger manifest dated 28 June 1853 shows Georg and Rudolph Georgii arriving in New York aboard the ship Elise. The Elise departed from Hamburg. Rudolph’s occupation is listed as architect; Georg is a clerk. A passenger list dated 18 May 1861 shows Rudolph Georgii, a businessman (kaufmann), departing Hamburg on the ship Borussia. His residence is listed as Ohio, USA. Rudolph Georgii died on 9 February 1861 in Saint Louis, Missouri; he was 33 years old. Ernst Alfred “Alfred“ Vöttiner, son of Bertha Julia Georgii and Hermann Friedrich Vöttiner. Brewer Born 26 December 1847 in Untertürkheim, Stadtkreis, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No death information. Probably died in the USA. Used the name Alfred Voettiner. Most of his early information, other than his birth and baptism, comes from ship crew and passenger lists. On 7 July 1866, Alfred is listed among the crew of the German ship Comet, out of Bremen, Germany. His residence is Stuttgart. Similarly, he is listed as crew on the German Ship St Bernard, also out of Bremen.

Gottlieb Georgii History 75 His residence is Bad Dürkheim, Germany. While in port in New York City on 9 October 1866, Alfred decided to desert from the St Bernard. This is not a Naval ship, so there probably were no consequences. There is a German Emigration index entry for Ernst Alfred Voettiner dated April 1867. His birthdate is given as 26 December 1847 and the birthplace is Stuttgart. His intended destination is North America. On 22 June 1867, Alfred is a passenger on the ship Saxonia departing Hamburg. He is listed as a brewer from Esslingen, age twenty years. On 31 July 1872, Alfred is again departing Germany for New York. He is a 24-year-old passenger on the German ship Cimbria. His occupation is businessman; his home is Iowa, USA. Alfred Voettiner was naturalized on 5 February 1872 in Cook County, Illinois. A Philadelphia city directory shows an Albert Voettiner, occupation brewer, living there. The 1880 census for Sioux City, Iowa lists an Alfred Voettiner, age 32, living with a family there. His occupation is ‘working in a brewery’. His native country is Wurttemberg (Germany). The last record we have for Alfred Voettiner is as a passenger on the German ship Trave. It arrived in the port of New York on 6 December 1894 after departing Breman, Germany. Alfred is listed as 47 years old. Because of the bad handwriting, we cannot read his occupation or destination.

With them were two of Sophie’s daughters; Rosalie (age 33) and Sophie (age 25) (see below). Sometime after Sophie’s husband died in 1925, Eugenie moved to Chicago and lived with her. The 1940 census

Gottlieb Georgii History 76 for Chicago shows Eugenie Georgie living with Sophie Barnard and her daughter Rosalie. Eugenie was buried in the Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, along with the rest of the family. (3) Eberhard Heinrich Friedrich Edgar von Georgii-Georgenau was born on 14 September 1872 in Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany; He may have died in 1963 in Baden- Württemberg, but we are not certain. Eberhard Heinrich married Margaret Anna Valentine Melinski on 12 September 1897 in Strasbourg, Bas Rhin, Alsace, France. There is also a reference to the marriage in a July-September British marriage index. The index states that their residence was the Strand District of London. Margaret Anna was born on 8 July 1875 in Colmar, Colmar-Ribeauville, Haut-Rhin, Grand-Est, France. She died on 3 April 1949, possibly in Baden-Württemberg. We have no further information. (4) Eugen Eberhard von Georgii-Georgenau was born on 29 Jun 1875 in Stuttgart. He died shortly afterward on 8 July 1857. Maximilian `Max` Georgii, son of Julius Friedrich August. Patent attorney.

Phoebe Anne was the daughter of John Harder Wagoner and Josephine Jerusha Fiske. The 1870 census shows that Max and his family have moved from St Paul, Minnesota to Washington DC. Max will grow up and live in Washington, DC. He will make many trips to Germany and back. The last passenger list we have for him is an arrival at the Port of New York on 23 February 1928. His address is Washington, DC. The next record is an American Consular death record stating that he died in München-Pasing on 23 December 1928. The cause of death was bronchial pneumonia. With him at the time of his was his son Dr. Siegfried Georgii. Phoebe was in Washington. Siegfried was living in the apartment where his father died. Phoebe died on 6 April 1936 in Genoa, Italy. She died of chronic myocarditis and other troubles. At the time of his mother’s death, Dr. Siegfried Georgii was still living in Pasing, Munich. We note this because Max and Siegfried seem to have extraordinarily strong ties to their homeland. Max and Phoebe Ann Georgii had one child. (1) Siegfried Georgii was born on 2 August 1900 in Washington, DC; he died on 24 June 1966 in Munich, Munich, Bavaria, Germany. He married Abby Wilhelmina Helene Maria Zitzlaff.

He hand-wrote a will on 4 August 1917. The United States had declared war on Germany on 5 April 1917. Perhaps this was a factor, but we will never know.

The first Altdorf is a Jewish area. Wilhelm was a cabinet maker who emigrated to Brooklyn on 24 October 1851. Carolina died only two years after marriage on 26 October 1910 in Brooklyn. We have seen no record of children. Hermann Wilhelm then married Alma Singer. They were married on 7 August 1911 in Brooklyn.

Alice Lorraine had a child with Hayden Emil. Hayden Dorian Barnard, on 1 October 1939 in Chicago. Hayden Dorian married Diane Caroline Mitchell on 11 October 1969 in Manhattan, New York City.

She had previously been married to Albert William Block; they had been married about 1940 in McLean County, Illinois. Before Irene married Albert William Block, she had been married to William Elmo Truitt. She married Truitt around 1929 in Bloomington, Illinois. Irene’s last husband, after Harold Suffield, will be Wilber Harry Benjamin. They were married on 31 August 1965 in Springfield, Sangamon, Illinois. Margaret Irene Harris was born on 18 April 1910 in Bloomington, McLean, Illinois; she died in Bloomington on 17 August 2004. Her parents were William David Harris and Cornelia R. ‘Cornie’ Webb.

Irene married William Elmo Truitt around 1929 in Bloomington. The Bloomington City Directory shows Irene M. Truitt working as a dental technician in the Barnard Dental Laboratory. William E. Truitt is a mechanic at Chevrolet. The 1949 directory shows Mrs. Irene Barnard working as a dental technician at the A.W. Block Dental Laboratory. Hence, the marriage estimates of between 1946 and 1949. Harold S. Barnard is a salesman for Watkins Products in 1949. Note that in 1946, Albert W. Block was a dental technician at the Barnard Dental Laboratory. Irene marries Albert William Block in 1930 in Bloomington. The 1951 directory shows A.W. Block married to Irene M. Block.

(6) Jacqueline Barnard was born on 12 December 1906 in Chicago. We have no further information. She does not appear in the 1910 census and may have died as an infant. Siegfried ‘Sigfrid’ Georgii, son of Max. Medical doctor, SS member Born 2 Aug 1900 in Washington, DC. His father, Max Georgii, was born 24 January 1858 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Max’s father was born in Württemberg, Germany. Siegfried’s mother, Phoebe Ann Wagner, was born in Rowses Point, Clinton, New York on 31 May 1879. Her parents were born in New York. Max and Phoebe were married on 12 April 1898 in Cranford, Union, New Jersey. Max became a patent attorney in Washington, DC. Max made many trips to Germany. He died in the Pasing district of Munich on 23 December 1928 of bronchial pneumonia. At the time of his death, Phoebe was in Washington and Siegfried was living in the apartment where his father died. Phoebe died on 6 April 1936 in Genoa, Italy. She died of chronic myocarditis and other troubles. At the time of his mother’s death, Dr. Siegfried Georgii was still living in Pasing, Munich. Some genealogies state that Siegried was married twice. We have no confirmation of this. One spouse was named Abbie Wilhelmina Helena Maria Zitzlaff. The other spouse was named Rudolphine Maria Haas. A 1968 Munich phone directory, two years after Siegfried’s death, shows an engineer named Siegfried Georgii and a woman named Rudolphine Georgii living at separate residences.It is possible that this is Siegfried’s son and wife. Earlier Munich directories list Siegfried as a medical doctor. There are two passport applications filed with American consulates in Germany. The first was filed Frankfort-on-Main on 12 October 1921. The second was filed on 16 November 1923 in Stuttgart. They are similar in content, so we will describe the 1923 application. The 1923 U.S. passport application, sworn at the American Consulate in Stuttgart, states that his permanent home was now Tübingen, Germany. He left the United States in 1903 or 1904. He arrived in Tübingen in 1921. He was currently studying medicine. He resided in the following countries: Belgium 1904 to 1905), Italy (1905 to 1913), and Germany (1913 to date). Of course, this protracted stay was bound to raise questions concerning the issuance of a passport. In an affidavit to explain the protracted foreign residence, Siegfried states the following: “I was taken to Europe by my father when four years old and was left here to be educated. I studied in Italy until 1913 and then came to Germany where I have since been studying medicine. During the war, I was recognized as an American citizen by the German officials. My father comes to Europe to visit me nearly every year and I expect to return to the United States as soon as I have completed my studies. This should be in two or three years.” This explanation was accepted, and a new passport was issued on 7 December 1923. We have evidence of one return voyage to the United States. He is listed as a passenger on the SS Columbus, departing Breme, Germany, on 15 January 1929 and arriving at the port of New York on 26 January

Gottlieb Georgii History 81 1929. His occupation is Physician. His ultimate destination is Munich. His length of stay in the United States will be 6 months. While in the U.S., he will be visiting his mother, Phoebe Georgii, in Washington, DC. Siegfried was an American in name only. According to a Wikipedia article ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_Georgii ) Siegfried Georgii received his doctorate degree in 1927 at the University of Tübingen in Germany. In 1932, he was an assistant in the midwifery school at Ludwig-Maximillians-Universitat Munich. At this time, he became Untersturmführer (under assault leader) in the SS. In 1933, he was appointed SturmHauptführer (chief assault leader, SS equivalent to captain in the German army) and then Sturmbannführer (assault unit leader, equivalent to major). In 1934, he became Obersturmbannfürer (senior assault leader, equivalent to lieutenant colonel) and then Standartenfürer (equivalent to full colonel). On 20 April 1935, Siegfried was promoted to Oberfürer (equivalent to either brigadier general or a senior colonel). Siegfried Georgii worked as an SS doctor, head of medical department at the Reichsfürer SS in February 1934.He was awarded the SS-Ehrenring (the SS ring with the skull and crossbones). He was a liaison with the Nazi Medical Association. There are Munich phone directories for this period. They show Dr. Siegfried Georgii only as a medical doctor. Sometimes, as in 1934, his occupation is listed as med., Facharzt f. Frauenleiden u. Geburtshilfe, Chefarzt d. Mütterheims München (medical specialist for woman’s ailments and obstetrics head doctor at the Munich mother’s home). The United States Federal Register Volume 12 dated 3 September 1947 designated Siegfried Georgii of Munich as a national of an alien country. The Attorney General of the United States is authorized to confiscate all property. The phone directory entry closest to the end of the war is for 1949. Siegfried’s occupation is Fachartz f. Frauenkrankh (medical specialist for women’s disease). This is the same occupation listed in the 1965 Munich directory. It appears that he continued to practice until his death. Siegfried died in Munich, on 24 June 1966. References 1.
