Henriette Kersten was born March 25, 1844 in Schultzendorf, Brandenberg, Prussia to Johann Friederich and Louise Kersten. She was married to Friederich Wilhelm Thiede in Prussia on December 27, 1864. She arrived in the United States of America in the Port of New York on the ship Christel on May 14, 1869 with her parents, two brothers, Gottlieb Kersten and Wilhelm Kersten. She gave birth to my grandfather Gottlieb Johannes Wilhelm Thiede on March 25, 1869 on the Atlantic Ocean. She also came with two other son, Herman Julius Thiede and August Robert Wilhelm Thiede, who were both born in Arnswalde, Prussia. There were two other children born to Henriette and Friederich Thiede. Anna M.F. Thiede on April 27, 1872 in Carver of Carver County and Matilda Louise Thiede in Maine Prairie Township of Stearns County on December 18, 1877. Anna died on October of 1876 in Carver of Carver County and is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Carver County. Herman Julius Thiede also died at a young age. He was 4 years old upon arrival in the United States. The source for the Anna M.F. Thiede is the 1875 Minnesota State Population census for Carver County. The death and burial is the Carver County Historical web site. After Friederich's death on October 20, 1897, she lived with the John Thiede family and then in South Haven of Wright County. She met and married Gottlieb Lambrecht. According to the 1910 census, she had five children born in her marriage to Friederich Thiede and three lived. I proved that out in the paragraph earlier. The three children who lived at the time of the 1910 census, John Thiede, Robert Thiede and Mathilda Thiede (Mrs. William Stelton of Wahpeton, ND). She lived in South Haven of Wright County until 1905, when she was put in the Evangelical Lutheran Home for the Aged in Shakopee, Scott county. She married Gottlieb Lambrecht also an inmate at the home on October 20, 1905. They moved to South Haven village and lived there until 1918, when they moved back to the home. I found Henriette and Gottlieb Lambrecht there on February 5, 1920. She lived there until her death on May 11, 1920, and she was buried in Altenheim cemetery near the Lutheran Home. Gottlieb moved back to Wright County. In the Alien Registration and Declaration of Holdings, dated February 27, 1918, she stated that she was a housewife born March 24, 1844 in Germany and came to the United States April 15, 1869. She had three living children and their names and ages were: Robert Thiede age 51, John Thiede age 48 and Matilda Stelton age 40.
