Surnames: Petrich, Reiter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vh.2ADI/2089 Message Board Post: This family arrived on the steamship Karlsruhe in Baltimore on 19 Mar 1892. grandmother Elisabeth Petrich age 65 daughter Adelina Petrich age 37 grandson Robert Petrich age 3 They last lived at Mogilne, Germany and were destined for Illinois. It is my belief that this is the mother (nee Reiter), sister, and nephew of Julius Robert Petrich that came to Marshall Co, IL a year later. Robert died in Osceola Co, IA in 1987, but he was living with Uncle Julius in 1900 census records in Marshall Co, IL. I haven't found a census reference for Elisabeth or Adelina. According to his Social Security application, Robert was born to Adeline Petrich and an unknown father on 27 Apr 1888 in Elkhart, IN. Though his birthplace seems invalid, there still might be a tie to Elkhart. Does anybody know of a reference to this Petrich family in Elkhart? I assume it would be between their immigration in 1892 and when Robert was living without mother and grandmother but with Uncle Julius Petrich in 1900.
