THE HILLMANNS OF BROOKLYN
Chapter 4
1910 Rose and Herman Have A Baby
Herman and Rose got married. According to census records and google maps this is where they lived.
In November of 1909 they had a baby girl, Marian
Rose and Herman liked to do the same things with their baby that people like to do today, like take her to the park.
On August 7, 1910 the Hillmanns went to Brighton Beach
Another summer day they went sailing. I believe this was on Long Island with Hillmann relatives.
So nice to know all about my Grandfather's family history!emotional seeing all these photos! My name is Barbara Siegele. My Grandfather was Henry Siegele
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to meet you Barbara. Some years ago my father gave me all the Hillmann pictures. I spent a long time, a summer at least, going through the pictures, trying to date some of them. Some are in albums, some are not. It clearly wasn't their habit to write on or next to their pictures. I got a clear picture of their lives, and their lives were wonderful. I have also met a descendant of William through Ancestry.com. Between this blog and ancestry.com I have uploaded all my historic pictures. Other family historians find them and love them so much. I also get so thrilled when I find a picture of an ancestor that I never saw before. Feel free to email me at lindquistlaw@aol.com or find me on FB.
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much! If know dates about births and what each siblings of my Grandfather did and lived married who? I knew Aunt Angelica and her husband Robert Langlotz. As a child my grandparents moved to Delray Beach, Fla and Aunt Angelica and husband lived in Boynton Beach. We lived in Boynton Beach. I knew about Grandpa working in Bordens was the legal accountant.
ReplyDeleteI was born in Fort Lauderdale, and still live here. In later Hillmanns' albums there are pictures of your grandfather in Florida. My father moved to Florida when he was 16. My father's mother, Rose's daughter, died giving birth to my father. My father was close to his Hillmann-Siegele grandparents. They saw him every Saturday. But he said they were very close-lipped. Dad believes that his grandmother, Rose Siegele Hillmann, never had a happy day after her daughter died. Dad says the only time he met any Siegeles was at Rose's funeral. Diana, daughter of William, told me Herman gave her a diamond that belonged to Rose, because all they had was a grandson. By father's father died when my father was 14. After my father married, and had me, Herman Hillmann came to Florida to visit. He told my father there were Siegele relatives living nearby. My father said he asked him, "Do you want to go visit them, because I don't know them." They did not visit.
