The relationship listed on the 1920 US Census is Foster Father to Harold. I had Christian as his father from Aunt Gen's Bible. On Wilhelm's DC his father is listed as Henry. Heinrich was Christian's middle name.

Since there is a KOW on the end of his surname there is a good chance tht he is from Pommerania.

There was a Henrich Pittelkow that had a feed store at 603 Dale in 1901 per his grandson Harold Pittelkow (not a proven relative) who lived at 218 W. County Rd. C., Roseville, MN 55113. He sent a letter to Genevieve Pittelkow dated May 12, 1993. They were trying to make a connection between his grandfather (Henrich) and her husband's Grandfather. The letter also had a 1926 "Sanborn Fire Map" included. It is filed with Wilhelm's death cert. DCMN043.

I believe that Wilhelm may have had his right leg amputated.

  20. ↑ (date on 1900 & 1910 Census) he had been in the US 18 years-He would have been about 32 yrs. old and already married to Emelia.

    I have also seen an address of 620 Edmunds. This may be the store. (On maps.google.com it shows the store.)
    It is interesting that in the 1885 State CN there was a Henry Pittelkow living at 564 Edmund. This is one block south from the Dale and Edmund store. (On maps.google.com this is a building that may have been a store at one time.)
    Also there is a Henry Pittelkow listed at 584 Edmund. (less that a block from the Dale and Edmund store, see maps.google.com)

  26. ↑ 1896-1909 R.L.Polk directories show (Grocer-Retail) at 569 N. Dale-residence the same, they lived above the store. This is at Dale and Edmonds. Also listed at this address on the MN state census of 1895.
