Into the wide world

Emigration from the parish of Schönholthausen

 

2977 Cadillac Ave. Detroit
The house of Anna Maria Catharina Reuter, born on May 31, 1854 in Schönholthausen, was the first address of many Schönholthausen residents in the 1920s and 30s. Maria had already emigrated in 1879 and married Alois Krug in 1881. From the turn of the century, emigrants had to enter a destination address in the passenger lists. And so it is that "Aunt Mary Krug, 2977 Cadillac Ave." is mentioned in many passenger lists.
Franz Josef Simon, Maria Theresia Melcher, Johanna Lubeley, Josef Reuter, Theresia Engel, Peter Reuter and Paul Melcher, to name just a few of those who listed their aunt as their destination. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)



And this is what 2977 Cadillac Ave, Detroit looks like today.
