Note on Husband: Alexander HIRSCHFELD

Alex immigrated in September, 1872, aboard the Fresia, which sailed

from Hamburg, Germany and LeHavre, France, to New York. At that time,

he listed his occupation as clerk.

Note on Wife: Minna "Minnie" ASCHER

In 1880, Minnie was still living with her parents and was a milliner

(hat maker). Minnie married Alex Hirschfeld and they had at least two

children in Wisconsin.

By 1900, Minnie, born in May 1863, is a widow according to the MI

census. This census shows she has 2 children, both living. She

immigrated in 1867 and has been here 33 years. She is a Groceries

Keeper. Magnus was born June 1885 in Wisconsin; Bruno was born

December 1889 in Wisconsin. This permits us to determine that they

married in or before 1884. Alex died between 1889 and 1900, possibly

in Wisconsin.

In 1910, Minnie remains a widow according to the MI census. She had 4

children, 2 of whom were living in 1910, Magnus A, age 24, born in

Wisconsin; and Bruno A., age 20, born in Wisconsin. Minnie has no

profession. Magnus is a Bookkeeper in a City Office and Bruno is a

salesman in a Dry Goods store.
