Grandpa's Story |
My dad’s first wife, Emilie Bertha Caroline Bartelt, had died in 1875. They had three children, Helene, Ernestina and Herman. Helene died from measles before she reached the age of 2.
My parents were Carl Friedrich William Kienow and Louise Henriette Florentine Stark. Dad was known as William and mother as Henriette. My parents were married on July 21, 1876. When I was born on April 21, 1877, they gave me the name Albert Friedrich August Kienow when I was baptized on May 5, 1877 at the church in the village of Roggow. One of my sponsors was Friedrike Pofahl, my dad’s sister.
Brother Robert was born in 1879 and my sister Anna was born in 1881. That made a total of 5 children in our family. My father worked on a farm but didn’t own it.
