Biography

Dorothea "Emma" Griebnau was born about 1870 in Germany. She was the daughter of Ferdinand Griebnau and Olga Schuett.

Emma (Griebnau) Anderson migrated from Germany to Canada.

Her parents emigrated to the United States when she was very young, as her younger brother Hugo was born about 1873 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, United States.

Emma (age over 18) married Albert Anderson (age over 21) on 26 August 1888 in Cuyahoga, Ohio, United States.^[1]

In 1897 they had a daughter Olga, and then in 1900 a daughter Mabel. In the 1910 census Emma (age 39) was the wife of Albert J Anderson in Cleveland Ward 1, Cuyahoga, Ohio, United States with two daughters.^[2]

Emma's youngest daughter Mabel Anderson married Ralph S. Holstein on 30 March 1918 in Cuyahoga, Ohio, United States.^[3] Sadly, her eldest daughter Olga passed away at the young age of 22 yrs. two years later due to illness.^[4]

Emma's husband Albert James Anderson (age 63) died on 25 June 1925 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio.^[5]

She passed away (aged 58) in 1929 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, United States.^[6] Dorothea was mentioned on a memorial in Riverside Cemetery, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States with a death date of 25 January 1929.^[7]

Research Notes

• using find a grave birth info until better source found.
• find a grave has middle initials as M. E. as does the death record.
• family search profile: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/G393-W22
• her father Ferdinand is thought to have been born in Herbshorst County, Elbing, Germany. Possible birth record?? ^[8]
  • may this be "Kerbshorst" in district Ober-Kerbswalde?
  • Mar 1836 fits at least to 1900 census
  • civil records in Ober-Kerbswalde only start in 1874, so they won't help, since they came over already in 1872
  • according to [1] #42, Neuheide, where this baptism is recorded, was the Protestant parish for Kerbshorst. I think there would be now enough information to start a profile about the father ... --Straub-620 11:55, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
