Biography

Adolph was born in 1853. He passed away in 1917.

1884 immigration: There is an entry in the Hamburg Passenger Lists on Ancestry for Adolf Glück, age 32, who departs Hamburg on 5 Apr 1884, heading to New York via London. His ocupation is Arbeiter (worker). His residence is Mokranz, Österreich.

I do not know that this is the correct person, but note that his wife's family did live in the town now called Mokrance, Slovakia. The 1900 and 1910 censuses say that he and his wife immigrated in 1884.

His obituary says "In 1885 he came with his family to Saginaw, which has since been the family home." (Perhaps they first stayed in NY for a few months.)

There is a NY passenger list that seems to record his wife and two eldest children, arriving in NY on 30 Aug 1884. That ship departed from Bremen, so it is not recorded in the more detailed Hamburg passenger lists.

Research Notes

Are the Gluck and Grunvald families connected? There is a death record on JewishGen for Josef Grunwald, husband of Zali Gluck. He dies 2 Feb 1887, in Abaujszanto.
