I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING MY FAMILY TREE RECENTLY. MY MOTHERS FAMILY IMMIGRATED TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1846 FROM ROSSTAL, BAVARIA GERMANY. THEY WERE LUTHERANS AND STARTED A
LUTHERAN,GERMAN COMMUNITY IN FRANKENMUTH MICHIGAN. THEY DEPORTED FROM BREMEN GERMANY AND TRAVELED FOR ABOUT 50 DAYS OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN BEFORE REACHING AMERICA. OUR FAMILY BROUGT THE FRANK NAME TO FRANKENMUTH.THEY WERE FARMERS.
MY FATHERS FAMILY CAME FROM CECHOSLAVAKIA. MY GREAT GRANDFATHER JOSEPH RAZ ARRIVED IN AMERICA IN 1897 AND LIVED IN CHICAGO ILLINIOS WITH HIS WIFE MARIE. HE WAS A TAYLOR AND HE MADE CLOTHES FOR CHARLIE CHAPLAN.THEY LATER MOVED TO UNION PIER MICHIGAN AND OPENED UP A MEAT MARKET/GROCERY STORE ON THE CORNER OF TOWNLINE AND M-11. MY GRANDMA PALM (RAZ) TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD A CECHOSLAVAKIAN COMMUNITY IN UNION PIER AND THEY WOULD HAVE GET TOGETHERS QUITE OFTEN AND EAT MEALS TOGETHER AND THAT IT WAS A CLOSE KNIT COMMUNITY. MY GREAT GRANDMA RAZ NEVER LEARNED TO SPEAK ENGLISH.
