I am researching--> BETZ, BERNGRUTZ, BITTNER, BRADY, DOLLY, FELLER, HAEBERLE, KAMPF, LASKER, MULLER, OTREMBA, SCHLEICHERT, SCHWAB, VOLK, and WALT. BITTNER, KAMPF, FELLER AND SCHLEICHERT individuals are from Germany and New York. All the rest are located in the five boroughs of New York (mainly Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan). |
My 'brick wall' ancestors are my maternal great-grandparents, Josephine Muller and Joseph Tanner who were supposedly located in Brooklyn, New York. I have no vital statistics on them whatsoever. They had several children, some of them possibly being: Elizabeth, Henry, Dorothy, Frederica and Edith. Elizabeth is my maternal grandmother who went by the name of Elsie. She was supposed to watch her brother(s) and sisters while her father was at work but went to the store for a neighbor. While she was gone the house or apartment burned down and only her brother Henry and sister Edith survived. Elsie's father wanted to kill her when he found out and she ran to the nearest convent where she lived with them and eventually with an older woman friend called Clara. That there was a fire in which several of her siblings were killed and that she ran away so her father wouldn't kill her there is no doubt. The rest of the details are in question. As you can imagine, my grandmother was traumatized by this event and could barely discuss this with my mother. I am trying to find out where the records of St. Nicholas R. C. Church, 26 Olive Street, Brooklyn, NY which is no longer active are kept. This is where Elsie and her sister Frederica were baptized. I am also trying to determine if there were any Brooklyn newspapers around that time in order to find out more about this fire and perhaps more information about her family. |
