    2. Darrel Hockley
    3. Hello all. Would anyone please know who the parents were of Antonio/Anton Rollmann (March 1873 to c.1911) and of his wife Theresa "Daisy" Schell (8 April 1877 to 16 November 1946) of Neuarad (Ujarad)? They had two children born in Neuarad: John (born 25 February 1900) and Theresa (born 6 May 1903). The daughter was also nicknamed "Daisy". In August of 1903 Anton emmigrated to Pennsylvania, USA; he was a passenger on the ship "Phoenicia". In December of 1905, his wife and the two children joined him in North Dakota, being passengers on the ship "Pannonia" that sailed from Fiume. In 1907 the family homesteaded near Medicine Hat, Alberta where the following were born: Joseph (born 23/27 November 1907), Antony "Tony" (born 2 February 1909), and Frank (born 20 September 1910). After the date of the Census (14 June 1911) Anton died and his widow Theresa married another Medicine Hat homesteader Joseph Sax (15 July 1880 to 6 September 1960) and then the entire family, except for John,  moved to San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, USA. John kept his Rollman surname (dropping one N) while his siblings took on the surname of Sax of their step father (Frank added an extra X to his Saxx). John Rollman worked as a hired farm labourer in Saskatchewan until he married Eva Kronberger (1906 to 1989) of Lang, SK in about 1926 and had ten children. John Rollman died on 28 September 1958 in Vancouver, BC. His occupation at the time of his death was that of chef in various hotels. Theresa Schell Rollmann Sax died on 16 November 1946 at Santa Barbara, California and her husband Joseph Sax died on 6 September 1960 at Santa Cruz, California. All of John Rollman's siblings died in California: Joseph Sax died on 9 November 1946 in Santa Clara; Theresa "Daisy" Sax (Mrs. Raymond Sidney Miner) died on 25 October 1952 in Monterey; Frank Saxx died on 18 June 1983 in Santa Clara; and Tony Sax died on 28 January 1998 in Napa Darrel Hockley Regina, SK, Canada
