• Occupation: Between 1925 and 1928, Acme, Alberta, Canada
• Occupation: Between 1928 and 1950
• Residence: Oct 1953, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Notes:

Henry wanted a full section in one square block because at the time everyone farmed with horses and it was important to have the land accessible from the barn. We assume that he sold the half section in 1928 when he found his full section and || which he farmed until 1950. We are told that Henry was a real horse person and always had the best team in the district.

son Eddie took over the farm and Henry retired to an acreage in Hubalta near Calgary and when he was not fishing, he sold eggs & milk. Eggs were sold to the Holly Cross Hospital and milk was sold directly from the small 10 acre farm.

they visited Nathalia's Wonnenberg family in Colorado and Littau family in Lodi California

became Canadian Citizens.

traveled to England and then to Denmark to attend grandson Wayne's wedding. After the wedding they went to Schwaebish Hall to visit the Ohlhausen family and then on a Rheine cruse and back to England and Canada

had lump removed off his shoulder and it was diagnosed as not cancerous and an operation on 25 Sept.1974 in the same area showed it was fast growing cancer.

Name:
He added an H between his first and last names to prevent his mail being mixed up because his cousin, Henry Ohlhausen, lived close to his farm south of Irvine.

Occupation:
His hobby of fishing kept him busy, going to all sorts of fishing areas in the country. On 13 Feb. 1962 he and his fishing partner Matchett, were in court and fined $50 for being over the limit at a small trout pond.

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.

Role: Witness

Census:
and were shown as members of the Adventist church so we assume this was Louise Ttzlaff's preference as the rest of his Ohlhausen family were Baptist/Lutheran.

Role: Witness

Occupation:
In March 1917 he took over his father's homestead farm || The first 4 years were rough as there was not enough rain to raise feed for their 6 cows and 7 horses. They even fed Russian thistle taken from the ditches and still two cows died. The years 1922-24 were better as there was more rain. They drove 25 miles to Medicine Hat every two weeks to sell butter and eggs and get groceries.

Occupation:
They worked hard but did not make much progress on this southern Alberta farm, so in 1925 when John Keim (Nathalia's step father's brother) offered them a 1/2 section of land with a house in the Acme district, they jumped at the opportunity. The Rodney School was close and Eddie was born in this house. A 1927 land map shows that he owned the NW17+SW20-30-27 W4.

Occupation:
They had 15 working horses and had as many as 9 horses pulling a 3 bottom plow. In 1932 they threshed 19,000 bushels of wheat and oats and after selling it did not have enough money to cover the expenses. The wheat was 27 cents a bushel. It was a good farm in the good times when there was no hail and they got the rain at the right time.

Residence:
they moved to 1925 Mount View Cr. NW Calgary and on 31 May 1960 to 2033 Mount View Cr. where they lived until 1974 when they moved to Didsbury, Alberta. After all the years of farming and hard work they could finally just retire.

Heinrich married Nathalia 'Dolly' Koenig on 05 Mar 1917 in Crossfield, Alberta, Canada. Nathalia (daughter of Gottlieb Koenig and Justina Wonnenberg) was born on 24 Nov 1898 in Kronental, North Caucasus, Russia; died on 17 Nov 1982 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; was buried on 19 Nov 1982 in Didsbury Cemetery, Didsbury, Alberta, Canada.

Notes:

Living:
After her mother's death in 1911, Dolly worked and was raised on her step father's brother's (John Keim) farm until her marriage. She did not attend school but instead worked on the farm milking, feeding animals and harvesting. It was hard work, but there was lots to eat and she was treated like one of the family. She taught herself to read and write later in life.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Event-Misc:

Notes:

Lydia Jerke, who married Jakob Sandau wrote: "One of Elizabeth's brothers had immigrated to America before Elizabeth and John but had passed away shrortly before they arrived." [see Jerke1, page 11] We know that the John Jerke and his wife Elisabeth Koenig Jerke immigrated to Granada CO in Dec 1907 and that Gottlieb had died in March 1907 in Granada CO. We therfore are assuming that the parents listed on Elizabeth's funeral home record are also the parents of Gottlieb Koenig.

Illness:


About 1905 he developed breathing problems and the doctor in OK said that he had to go to a drier climate so they moved to Granada CO, likely because Jusinta's brother Daniel W. was working on a sugar beet farm in the area. We know now that he died of TB and that both his father in law, Ludwig W. Sr. and his wife Justina also died of TB.

Occupation:
The ship manifest tells us that their sponsor was John Stadler of El Reno, OK and Nathalia's notes tell us that the family soon started farming

Other Events and Attributes:

• Nationality: This information came from Karl Stumpp and we assume that it is correct because several family documents show him as 'a subject of Prussia'.
• Reference Number: 1
• Reference Number: F1
• Occupation: Between 1855 and 1862, Jakobsonstal, Dobrudscha, Romania; a teacher || and as a teacher at that time he also performed certain church duties.

• Confirmation: 18 May 1873, Bortscheag, Bessarabia, Russia
• Residence: 1881, Unter-Albota, Bessarabia, Russia

Notes:

baptized his son Jakob I

Bortscheag was a large estate owned and managed by people from France that employed German workers and was situated 6km northeast of the German settlement of Albota. Some research into the history of the Bortscheag Germans finds that many were so-called Separatists and followed Ignaz Lindl's religious teaching. Copies of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Books begin in 1864 and most of the entries for the next nearly twenty years were made by the teacher Ferdidand Ohlhausen.

Religion:
It is possibly that Ferdniand was a so-called Separatist in 1858 because the church record for Jakob's baptism shows that he was a teacher but the “Ev. L” (protestant Lutheran) under Ferdinand’s name, had been crossed out. According to an expert in this area, this may indicate that he was not a Lutheran at that time. Wilhelm's birth record in 1862 shows both Ferdinand and his wife Wilhelmine, as Protestant denomination.

Occupation:
a teacher|| and as such performed church functions in this settlement. The records indicate that he performed marriages and nearly 200 baptisms during this time. These were always authenticated later by the pastor who came periodically from Galatz, Romania.

Confirmation:
Role: Witness

Residence:
moved to Unter-Albota Bessarabia, and from the Lutheran Church books we know that he continued church work because his signature is on many birth, marriage and death records. He also worked as a vineyard keeper, in the summers and falls.

Died:
and it was noted on his death record that he was a Prussian Subject.

Ferdinand married Karoline 'Wilhelmine' Nelitz between 1850 and 1853 in Jakobsonstal, Dobrudscha, Romania. Karoline (daughter of Johann Nelitz and Louise Jastrow) was born on 29 Oct 1831 in Leipzig, Bessarabia, Russia; died on 30 Apr 1908 in Sarata, Bessarabia, Russia; was buried on 02 May 1908 in Sarata, Bessarabia, Russia.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Wilhelmine Ohlhausen
• Reference Number: 247
• Reference Number: F1

Notes:

After her father died in April 1835 her mother Luise Jastrow, married Philipp Schorr. We can follow Schorr family's movements by their children's birth place: 1838-1840, Leipzig, Bess; 1847-1852 Jakobsonstal, Romania; 1854 Gnadental, Bess. || would have been 16-21 years old during the time the family was in Jakobsonstal.

Notes:

Married:
The date was estimated from Wilhelmine’s family movements.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: 2722
• Reference Number: W1
• Nationality: Between 1881 and 1882, Unter-Albota, Bessarabia, Russia; On the birth and death records for Susanna in 1881/82 he is named as the father a Prussian Subject. In March 1882 both Peter and Erdman died and both church entries state the Cornelius was the father, farmer and Prussian Subject.

Notes:

Some researchers show that Kornelius Tetzlaff was the son of Johann (son of Jakob) Tetzlaff of Tarutino, Bess., but our research has not found a link between these two families and the ages would fit better as the brother of John's father, Jakob Tetzlaff. We found that Kornelius was part of the Tetzlaff family in Jakobsonsthal and later of Bortscheag exactly the same move as our Ohlhausen family. In Jakobsonsthal there was a Peter Tetzlaff and also a Jakob & Johann, but they are of a different generation fomr the Tarutino Tetzlaff family. The Bortscheag Church Books have many entries for the Tezlaff family.
However, his daughter Louise married Wilhelm Ohlhausen, who emigrated to Canada and a family story is they first went to North Dakota before emigrating to Canada and we know that John Tetzlaff's son 'Jakob' emigrated from Tarutino to North Dakota in 1894, where it appears his family stayed.

Kornelius married Magdalena 'Helena' Kranich about 1857. Magdalena was born about 1841. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: 1604
• Reference Number: Koe2

Notes:

As of 2017, not much is known about Jacob Koenig. He was listed as the father on the death records for both Gottlieb and Elizabeth Koenig. The death record for Elizabeth also listed Katherine Seigfried as her mother, however because of the age difference between Gottlieb and Elizabeth, it is possible they had different mothers.

Gottlieb's daughter, Nathalia, wrote that her Father had two sisters and one brother.

We also know that Gottlieb and family emigrated from Kronental, N Caucasus, Russia. Kronental was a daughter colony of the main colony 'Belowesch', which was estaqblished in 1766/7 by families mainly from Hessen area in Germany.

Name:
Information from the Allnut Funeral Services show that Jacob Koenig was the name of Elizabeth's father and Gottlieb's death certificate also shows that Jacob was his father

Jacob married Katherine Seigfried about 1870. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: 1605
• Reference Number: Koe2

Notes:

As of 2010, nothing is known about Jacob Koenig. He was listed as the father on the death records for both Gottlieb and Elizabeth Koenig. The death record for Elizabeth also listed Katherine Seigfried as her mother.

Name:
We have used the spelling in the record; but Katherine should be the German spelling 'Katharine' and the last name is likely an incorrect spelling - may be Seifried (Siegfried is a common first name).

Notes:

and his family emigrated from 'Nemezko Chaginsk' which is Russian for Kronental North Caucasus. It indicates that the family had $450 and that their destination was El Reno, OK (Near Oklahoma City) and they were sponsered by John Stadler.

Ludwig took out a homestead at NE27-26n-15w, which is immediately west and adjacent to the town of Avard, northern Oklahoma. After his death in Oct 1904, Wilhelmina made final application and received ownership of this quarter section of land as shown on the Patent Record dated 25 Aug 1905. In 1908, Wilhelmina sold one acre to the local school district #140 and the remainder of the quarter section to Fred Link. Wilhelmina's grave stone reads "Wilhelmina Wonenberg Link" therefore we assume that she married this Fred Link as some point.
