Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Karoline Wilhelmine Emilie OehnsKaroline Wilhelmine Emilie Oehns Descendancy chart to this point (1.Karl1) was born 5 Nov 1856, Prussia; died Bef 1959.

    Other Events:

    • Emigration: 1859, Zinna, Sachsen, Prussia

    Notes:

    See note on Bertha Oehns Riess's record to explain linkage between Karoline Wilhelmine and (assumed) sister Bertha Oehns Riess.


  2. 3.  Karoline Bertha Emilie OehnsKaroline Bertha Emilie Oehns Descendancy chart to this point (1.Karl1) was born 10 Oct 1858, Deutschland; died 24 May 1936, St. Louis, City, Missouri, United States; was buried 27 May 1936, Friedens Cemetery, St. Louis, City, Missouri, United States.

    Other Events:

    • Emigration: 1859, Prussia; Auswanderungsakten Brandenburg, Preußen
    • Immigration: 1859, United States; Source: 1900 US Census, 1910 US Census. 1920 Census states immigrated 1858, naturalised 1863
    • Also Known As: 1917; Bertha Owens - alternate spelling of name (from son William's death cert, of which Bertha was informant)
    • Address: 1936, 4420 Anderson Ave, St. Louis, City, Missouri, United States

    Notes:

    Bertha Riess alternately used the names "Carlina Riess" and "Bertha Riess".

    1900 Census: Riess, Otto W; CARLINA B. (b. Oct 1858); sons William, Fred, Edwin, Elroy; neighbour Newsham.

    1910 Census: Riess, BERTHA, age 51 sons William, Edward, Elroy; neighbour Newsham.

    1917 death certificate of William: father Otto W. Riess (PA), mother BERTHA OWENS [sic] (Germany); signed Mrs. Bertha Riess.

    1920 Census: Riess, BERTHA C age 61; son Elroy.

    1936 death certificate of BERTHA Riess; father Fredrick Ohens, mother unknown, informant Elroy L Riess.

    1955 death certificate of Edwin: father William Otto Riess, mother BERTHA OHEN [sic].

    It is highly likely that these consecutive census entries are tracking the same person, and that she favoured the name Carlina B., at first, but later Bertha C., each time using the initial of her other forename. In her later life she was known primarily as Bertha.

    The anglicized name "Owens" may have been used by Bertha herself in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment.


    Parents of Bertha Ohens Riess:

    1936 death certificate of Bertha Riess states:
    father Fredrick Ohens, Germany
    mother unknown,
    informant Elroy L Riess.

    Bertha herself was born in Germany - the census records and death certificate agree. She arrived in the United States before the birth of her oldest son William in Pennsylvania in June 1883 (ref, 1900 US Census).

    A search of Prussian emigration records reveals an extremely close match:

    Year 1859
    Karoline Emilie Bertha Oehns
    Origin Zinna - Destination Amerika
    Birth 8 Okt 1858 - Age 1

    The birthdate of this "Karoline E. Bertha Oehns" is only two days from that on the death certificate of "[Carlina] Bertha Ohens" (see previous note about the name Carlina, and how she used it interchangeably with Bertha, favouring the latter).

    "Carlina" may have been how her name was transcribed by an American bureaucrat, hearing "Karolina". "Acht Oktober" may have become 10 October, through a similar error.

    Searching the same Auswanderungsakten Brandenburg, Preußen records for "Oehns" in 1859, we find what appears to be a single family coming from the town of Zinna:

    Karl Julius Ludwig Oehns, b. 1823
    Charlotte Caroline Leinert Oehns, b. 1829
    Karoline Wilhelmine Emilie Oehns, b. 1856
    Karoline Emilie Bertha Oehns, b. 8 Okt 1858

    There are no other Oehns from Zinna in that emigration record in that year.

    Despite the name Frederick Oehns on the death certificate, then, I believe these to be more likely candidates for Bertha's parents, and am listing them as such. Note also that Elroy was unaware of his grandmother's name - either forename or surname - thus indicating that he was very unfamiliar with his own mother's origins.

    All of this is dependent on the assumptions that Carlina Bertha Oehns, born 10 Oct 1858, and Karoline Emilie Bertha Oehns, b. 8 Okt 1858, are one and the same person, and that she was - at the age of about one year - traveling with her parents and sister.

    Karoline married Otto W. Riess 1881. Otto (son of unknown male Riess and m. (Riess)) was born Jun 1852, Pennsylvania, United States; died 24 Sep 1905, St. Louis, City, Missouri, United States; was buried 1905, Friedens Cemetery, St. Louis, City, Missouri, United States. [Group Sheet]
