HELLO EVERYONE I AL HAVING THE HARDEST TIME IN THE WORLD SEARCHING FOR MARY FROELICH. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A FEW OF THEM ON THE SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX BUT.......... IM HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP. MY GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS HERMAN DOBBECK. BORN IN GERMANY AND CAME TO CHICAGO IN 1882. HE MARRIED MARIE VIERK. HERMAN DOBBECK HAD A SISTER NAMED MARY FROELICH. WHEN HERMAN DOBBECK DIED IN 1942 IN CHICAGO, HIS OBITUARY MENTIONED HIS SISTER MARY FROELICH.DIDNT SAY IF SHE WAS IN CHICAGO OR WHERE. SHE MUST HAVE BEEN ALIVE STILL IN 1944 CAUSE IT DIDNT MENTION HER BEING DECEASED. I DO KNOW THAT IN THE CENSUSES IT SAYS HE WAS FROM GERMANY AND CAME IN 1882.THE 1900 CENSUSES AND 1910 AND 1920.HE MARRIED IN 1898 MARIE VIERK. SHE WAS BORN IN GERMANY TOO AND CAME TO CHICAGO IN 1888.IM HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL KNOW OF A MARY FROELICH, MAIDEN NAME I PRESSUME DOBBECK UNLESS HERMANS FATHER, AUGUST DOBBECK HAD REMARRIED IN USA AND HAD A CHILD WITH ANOTHER WOMAN AND NOT HERMANS MOTHER. HOPING THAT SOME KNID SOUL MAY KNOW.HERMAN DOBBECK WAS BORN ON FEB. 10, 1874 IN GERMANY SO HIS SISTER MUST BE MAYBEY A FEW YEARS BEFORE OR AFTER. HERMANS MOTHER WAS AMELIA HACKBARTH.( ??)
