About Peter Bann, Sr.

Peter Paul Bann, Sr. was born 1 March 1889 in Gravosa, Dubrovnik Austria, now located in the Republic of Croatia. According to the 1930 U.S. Census, Peter emigrated to the United States just after the turn of the century in 1907. On Peter Bann's Petition for Naturalization, he stated that he came to America on the ship "Alberta", which sailed from Trieste, (tnen in Austria) on 5 January 1907 and arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 5 February 1907.

In 1917, Peter was living at 190 N. Front Street in Steelton, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, when he signed his World War I Draft Registration Card on 5 June 1917. According to the information included on that card, he was working as a painter for Bethleham Steel Company, was married with a wife and one child, was of medium height and build, had brown eyes, black hair and was missing the index finger of his right hand.
