Thank you for information. We, too, have found these GETZINs to be an
elusive bunch! Hence the request for assistance!
I was unable to find Henry GETZIN & family in the 1880 census. I don't
remember if I checked the 1870 or not. According to the 1900 census,
Caroline was the mother of 6 children, 5 of whom were living. I think we
have these accounted for based on obituaries and cemetery records:
Henry, Jr. born April, 1871
Frank Joseph born May, 1876
John G. -- believed to have died in 1933
2 daughters (one of which may have been a Frieda Getzin -- died 5/17/1898 of
cancer at 27 years old).
Although the census claimed that Henry had been naturalized I've been unable
to find any naturalization records regarding him. I'd like to get back to
the Archives at which point I can recheck the census records for 1870 & 1880.
Thanks again for your assistance. I look forward to knowing whether or not
you're able to find more!
Regards,
Sheri
