FREDRICK OSWALD of Baden Baden
My grandfather's sister married Fredrick Oswald in 1871 when he was 18 yrs old.Born abt. 1853 in Baden Baden. Changed his name to Charles Greenwood -- family lore is that he was on the boat to America and asked fellow passenger (Chas Greenwood) if he could use his name -- he was coming to America and "needed an American name".Fredrick and his bride lived in northeast AR where he farmed and possibly worked in a sawmill (a lot of timber in the area).Assume he could speak English when they married.No other Germans listed on the 1880 county census so assume he migrated from some other area.Does anyone have this gentleman in their family tree?An help appreciated.
