Kreitz, Ernst Fredrik (emigrated to New York 1888)

[Mats Gustavsson]

Hi I am looking for info on Mr Ernst Fredrik Kreitz (b. 8/8/1861 i Stockholm, Katarina parish).


He left in 1888 and according to info found on familysearch he arrived with the ship "Alaska" in 1888.


It seems like a sad story, his only son died in the end of 1887 and he left his wife in Stockholm (she died in Stockholm in 1925) and never came back again.


Where did he end up? Looking for clues.


I have found a link to a newspaper in Hagerstown Maryland 22 Oct 1932 Morning Herald mentioning Ernst Kreitz but I guess it could be anyone with that surname. There seems to have been quite a few Kreitz coming over from Germany before.


Thanks a lot Mats
