Stricker Family tree - Frederick G. L. Struve

Frederick G. L. Struve

family connection - great grandfather of Roy Ellsworth Stricker





Frederick G. L. Struve was born on March 22, 1809, in Oldenburg, Germany - a town near Bremen. 

His wife was C D Eliza Stutenburg, born in 1815 in Oldenburg Germany. 

I haven't found his date of immigration yet, but it was likely in late 1847. 

Frederick indicated his intent to become a naturalized citizen on December 20, 1847. He became became a naturalized US citizen in New York City on September 18, 1851. 

His wife and children arrived on May 21, 1848 in New York. At that time is US history, if the head of household became a naturalized citizen, his entire household was automatically naturalized as well. 

Some time between 1855 and 1870, the Struve family move to Farmington, WI and purchased a farm. 

In 1870, Frederick Struve was appointed U.S Consul to Quebec. He served in that diplomatic post until his death. He died in Quebec City on June 30th, 1874. His funeral was held in Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral in Quebec.

In 2018, Dave and I travelled to Quebec City, and spent some time trying to find where Frederick was buried. The Cathedral staff confirmed that his funeral was held there, and indicated that everyone who died from the parish at that time were buried in Mount Hermon Cemetery. 

The cemetery is in a residential area outside of the downtown area, so we traveled by bus, hoping to get off at the right time because no one on that bus spoke English and neither of us speak French. We found Mount Hermon  and fortunately the manager spoke English. The records clearly show where he was buried, but there is no marker, as you can see in the photo below. The manager was puzzled, as were we, why no grave marker exists. 




I will tell the stories of his wife, Eliza, and their children Conradine, Carl, and Sophia on another day.

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. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  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  ...

The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne.
