Notes:

paid the homestead entry fee of $10 for a claim to a homestead located at SE 32-21-26 W3.

Immigration:
To date we have not found the date and place they entered North America however stories in the family say that they arrived in Montreal in 1901 and it would be logical that they would join his brother, Anton, who arrived in Irvine, Alberta in 1899. However, again stories in the family say that at Winnipeg they diverted south to check out the farms in North Dakota. We know that a Jakob Tetzlaff emigrated from Tarutino, Bessarabia to North Dakota in 1894 and although we have not found a link from the Tetzlaff family in Tarutino to our branch of that family, we cannot ignore the possibility that they went to North Dakota to be with the family of Wilhelm’s wife, Louise Tetzlaff. The family story goes on to say that in North Dakota family Ohlhausen met a family that had been there for some time and felt the land too rocky and poor to make a living so were planning to immigrating to Canada. We know that the Christian Gill family had been in Kulm, North Dakota from 1894 and moved to Canada in 1902 and took a homestead just south of the Ohlhausen homestead south of Irvine, North West Territories (later Alberta), Canada. It is possible that our family, along with the Gill family, immigrated in Apr 1902, when they both entered their homestead in southern Alberta at the same time.

Notes:

In 1845, his granddaughter Ida (Jans) and her husband, Fred Heller lived with William for about one year.

Occupation:
The birth certificate of his daughter Pauline in 1890 and his son Heinrich in 1894 show Wilhelm as a Settler (farmer) in the village of Neu Wittenberg (later known as Ober-Albota). His first five children are recorded in the Albota Lutheran Church Book, howerver the birth of neither Pauline nor Henry are in that book. The birth certificates of these last two children indicate that their birth information was held in the Baptist Church records, leading to believe that Willhelm & his family started going to the Baptist Church about 1890.

Occupation:
obtained enter to his homestead at SE 28-10-3 W4||. As part of his obligation to earn the title to the land, the apllication shows that by 1906 he has built a 16' X 20' log cabin which became the home although in the beiginning they lived in a sod house. They also had other shelters for the animals. The application shows that he broke new land at a rate of about 20 acres per year and by 1906 grew 60 Acres of crop and had 21 cattle, six horses and 5 pigs. (prior to Oct 1905 this area belonges to the NWT)
