Everybody - But What About the Women?

So far, my posts have been about men. What about the women, the wives and daughters?

Well, that's the point. In Colonial America, women were known as ether the daughter of a man, the wife of a man, or the widow of a man. Some were independent of any male, but it was rare.

I will blog about women, I promise, but the historical record overwhelmingly centers the men.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr., Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer, My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time.

I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City. Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred. Friederich and Eleanor had six children: Christina 1869-1875 Frederick ...
