My Grandfather's name was Frederick Dietz and he was from Newton Street in Greenpoint.
After sonme research I have finally found that his father's name was Gottlieb Dietz who arrived in America in the Port of NYC on the ship Germania in 1863. He was 25 at the time making his birth year Approx. 1838 and he was from Baden - Baden.
The 1900 Census lists his wife as being Theresa and that they were married for 22 years or approximately married in 1878. Theresa was born in New Jersey in January 1852. The address where they lived was 502 Graham Avenue in Brooklyn which should be right around the corner basically from the Newton Street address in
Greenpoint Brooklyn where my grandparents raised their children. There are 6 children listed:
My Grandfather, Frederick, born April 7, 1872 indicating he was born possibly of a previous marrage. He died January 17, 1943.
Louis was born in Aug 1878, Charles in Jan 1881, Lizzie listed as a step daughter, was born in Aug 1881, Sophia born in April 1883 and Amelia was born in Jan
1891.
My father's name was also Frederick Dietz and he was born on May 5th, 1917, married margaret Lappin Dietz on September 18th, 1943 and Died on February 13th, 1991.
If any of these names and dates ring any bells, please share any info that you have. I can be reached at N3AXE@US.IBM.COM.
