1899-Jun-17: Son Wilhelm was born in Neu-Strymba, Bessarabia, Russia.
1899-Jul-18: Son Wilhelm's birth record contains this death date, but that doesn't make sense since 4 years later he immigrated to Canada with his parents and brothers.
1900-Jun-01: Son Philipp was born in Neu-Strymba, Bessarabia, Russia.
1903-Mar-07: Son Johann was born in Neu-Strymba, Bessarabia, Russia.
