Johannes 'John' Ohlhausen

1889 - 1950  (60 years)

• Name	Johannes 'John' Ohlhausen
  Birth	18 Feb 1889	Unter-Albota, Bessarabia, Russia   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Baptism	19 Feb 1889	Unter-Albota, Bessarabia, Russia   [1, 3]
  Immigration	Apr 1902	Irvine, Northwest Territories, Canada   [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
  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
