I selected these pictures from Google searches to show the regional French costumes of the early 1900s time period in Alsace- note...the hats were for real! Wow!
Notes from Linda Claire Groshans’ Ancestry project
“Alsace is located on France's eastern
border and on the west bank of the upper Rhine adjacent to Germany and Switzerland.”
In the 1920 U.S. census Gottlieb provides the date of his immigration to the
U.S.A. as 1880 (he was only a toddler.) He lists his occupation in this census as a farmer. He states that his wife Maude was born in Arkansas. Her father was born in Kentucky and her mother was born in
Arkansas. Their home in 1920 was in Winona, Carroll, Arkansas.
He received citizenship to the U.S. in 1886.
His marriage to Maude Lillian Meador
was on June 12, 1912 in Carroll, Arkansas.In the 1940 US census G. “Jack”
Groshans lives in the Bruce, LaSalle, Illinois with his wife Maude, daughter Rita and son Robert Groshans.
I noticed that his wife Maude was considerably younger than Gottlieb. He was born in 1878 and she was born in 1887. Maude died Jan. 17, 1971 in Ypsilanti, MI.
The great grandfather of my children Amy Wiesner and Michael Groshans
