Notes
1 NOTE Hi Randall,
Wish I could given you more about Caroline Maria Johanna Krowas. This is what I do know - she was born Nov. 27, 1850 according to her obit. around Gingst, Island of Rügen, Germany. She was orphaned at the age of 8 yrs. She came to the USA aboard the ship ‘Prinz Albert’, which left Hamburg, Germany in the later part of 1872 and arrived in New York harbor on Jan. 28, 1873. Caroline was traveling with the Carl & Christine (Marzahl) Eggert family (they had 4 children). Caroline was listed on the ship’s record as being a daughter of the couple, but was really a niece. However, I do not know which of the couple was the blood relative. The entire family settled at Lowden, Cedar Co., Iowa. In Sep. 1875, Caroline married Carl Siebrecht Sr., who she supposedly knew in Insel Rügen, Germany and he & his family arrived in the USA on the same ship. Caroline died Jan. 17, 1938 and is buried at Odebolt, Sac Co., IA. Her death cert. says her father was Carl Krowas, but I have found nothing to confirm this. AND that is all I know. I realize that is a lot, but still her life in Germany is a great mystery. I wonder if she had siblings who might have come to the USA as well, but settled in surrounding states, but no mention was ever make of them visiting, etc. But with everyone from that era deceased, who’s there to tell. Would enjoy hearing from you about your last name, sure is not a real common one. Mary (M. M. Siebrecht)
