Person:Christian Pittelkow (1)

Christian Heinrich is the name of Harry's grandfather on the bible page that she has- (From an email from Genevieve Pittelkow dated Oct. 5 2002)-she had his name and birth year. His wife is listed as Caroline Lebauer. Also he (Christian) had a twin brother who died of a stroke at 51. This information came from Aunt Gen's Bible page.

I have a photo in the Elmhurst file for a Christian Pittelkow 1823-1873. I am not sure if this is the same man. If so he immigrated to St. Paul in 1872 with his entire family. I believe that it was lot 7 blk 14 in the cemetery. He was reinterred there.

On Ancestry.com message boards someone named Richard Pittelkow said that Christian entered the US 1870 and resided in St. Paul, MN
