Family of Karoline Altwasser and Gottlieb Schmidtke

Karoline Altwasser was born on November 29, 1872 in Kossow, Poland. Her name shows up in the EWZ files as the wife of Gottlieb Schmidtke and the mother of three daughters, Florentine, Teofile and Ida Schmidtke. The three daughters were uncertain about the birth place of their parents, but all three stated they were born in Antonowka and that both parents were gestorben (deceased) in Antonowka.

1905

Gustav Altwasser,   a brother of Karoline Altwasser, married Pauline Langner in the village of Wielkepole, about eight kilometers from Antonowka. All their friends and relatives were invited, as well as all the neighbors from both the villages. The celebration lasted for three days with a lot of good food, cooking , baking and of course no shortage of schnapps. Karoline and her family were living in Antonowka and probably joined the festivities.

Her husband's file (38691) shows her birth date as December 12, 1904. The marriage dates also differ, but only by 3 days (she says May 3, he says May 7). Even back then husbands couldn't get it right. He would have been wrong every year on their anniversary if he stuck to this date because he couldn't tell his wife she didn't know the date of their marriage and stay out of trouble.
