Notes for Christina Friederike SEIFRIED
Her daughter, Freda Krebs said her mother was Schwabian (with
certainty) and thought she was born in Stuttgart (with less
certainty).

Her death certificate indicates she was born on 9 January 1871, and
her age at death on 8 April 1920 at 49 years, 2 months, and 30 days
confirms this date. However, the Family Register in Heimerdingen
gives a birth-year of 1870 for her, and not 1871.


According to her daughter, Freda Katherine Krebs:
She was Schwabian and immigrated to America from Stuttgart (she
thinks it was Stuttgart). She made cheese for Abbotts dairy store,
and also cleaned houses and took washing and ironing jobs. She
wanted to get out of the hospital to see her daughter, and to say
goodbye, but died in the hospital before she got to see her. She was
Evangelical Lutheran, and her daughter strongly believes she was a
believer.

1900 United States Federal Census Record (on 1 June, enumerated 4 & 5
June):
In 1900, at age 30, she was married to her husband, Frederick Krebs
for four years, and lived with him and their one year old son in a
house rented at 2206 Seventh Street, Philadelphia. It states that
she was born in Germany on January 1870 to German born parents and
that she immigrated in 1889 at the age of 10, and was the mother of
one child who was still living.

1910 United States Federal Census Record (on 15 April, enumerated 22
April):
In 1910, at age 40, she was married to her husband, Frederick Krebs
for 15 years (her first marriage). They lived with their eleven year
old son in a house rented at 2206 Seventh Street, Philadelphia. She
was the mother of two children, one still living. She spoke German
and was born in Germany to German speaking, German born parents and
immigrated in 1889.

1920 United States Federal Census Record (on 1 January, enumerated 12
January):
In 1920, at age 50, she was married to her husband, Frederick Krebs,
and lived with him and their two children in a house they owned at
2132 Reese Street, Philadelphia. She spoke German and was born in
Germany to German speaking, German born parents and immigrated in
1890 (a one year discrepency with the 1900 and 1910 census), and
became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. (at the same time as her
husband in 1898, if accurate).
