He was born in 1855 in Niekosken, Posen, Germany (Nikursko, Wielkopolskie, Poland) to Michael KRUEGER and Anna RZEZINSKA (Germanized: RESINSKA). He emigrated to the US in 1881 and settled near Vincennes, Indiana. His parents were originally from the town of Behle (Polish: Biala) near Schönlanke (Polish: Trzcianka). He was not the first emigrant from that area (Behle specifically) to Knox County, Indiana. Chief among these had been the NOWASKIE (NOWACKI in Poland) family; and a KROEGER would later marry a NOWASKIE in Knox County.<br /><br />August KRUEGER married Marie Catherine MOUGIN (1854-1913) on 10 April 1883, at St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Vincennes, Knox, Indiana. She had previously been married to Peter George GOGNAT, who died in 1881. August and Catherine had 5 children:<br /><br />F - Julia KROEGER 1884-1944<br />F - Anna R KROEGER 1886-1964<br />F - Emma J KROEGER 1887-1948<br />M - August Walter KROEGER 1889-1927<br />F - Agnes Mary KROEGER 1894-1957 <br /><br />Agnes Mary is my grandmother. <br /><br />Late in his life (1926) August chose to return to (then) Germany to visit his remaining two sisters at Behle and so completed his citizenship and obtained a passport. He died in the care of his daughter, Emma KROEGER-NOWASKIE, on 24 March 1929, at Vincennes.Lynn Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885808956452761511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-36707859310647430202015-11-22T18:50:18.806-08:002015-11-22T18:50:18.806-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lynn Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885808956452761511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-84488182944817589702015-11-22T13:47:29.252-08:002015-11-22T13:47:29.252-08:00My newest immigrants are my grandfather, who came ...My newest immigrants are my grandfather, who came to NY from Italy in 1916 at age 17, and my grandmother, who came from Italy (different area) in 1911, at age 4.

Slater, was a bit of a mystery. He appeared seemingly out of nowhere in an 1820 Indiana marriage record and he died in 1847 so there's no contemporary census record of his place of birth. However, beginning with the 1880 U.S. Census his children consistently listed their father's birthplace as England so I looked at immigration records for all the usual east coast ports of entry: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, even Charleston and New Orleans without finding him. Since I was raised by adoptive parents, I didn't know any family stories but after my daughter located my birth mother's relatives we learned that they had been told that he was a deserter from the British invasion fleet which attacked New Orleans in 1814-15. With that in mind, I was able to locate him applying for U.S. citizenship in a naturalization index for Jefferson County, Indiana, in 1818. Family tradition also says he was from Yorkshire but Slater is a fairly common surname there so it's been impossible to verify where he was born.<br /><br />(The British forces totaled about 8,000 men. It's been assumed that he was in the British Navy but he could also have been a marine or soldier and so far I've found no mention of him in online English military records.)Pat Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795799890520294600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-36563758985818453912015-11-21T14:21:18.180-08:002015-11-21T14:21:18.180-08:00My 3rd great grandfather, Charles Francois Xavier ...My 3rd great grandfather, Charles Francois Xavier Voiland, emigrated to the United States from Essert, France. He, his wife Adelaide (Perrin), and 5 of their children arrived at Castle Garden, on board the William Tell, on December 3rd, 1857. Charles’ name has also appeared in family records as Jean Baptiste Voiland. It seems he used both names.<br /><br />They eventually made their way to Buffalo, NY and then permanently settled in Waupaca Co., WI. Most of the Voiland family changed their surname to “Weller”. <br /><br />A link to view their passenger list can be found at http://bit.ly/1PSKiB2.Dave Wellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125257801526596542noreply@blogger.com
