I have been trying to find some information about my Great-uncle Dominick Kaelin.
Here is what I found:
Dominick KAELIN
born: 11 November 1870 in Einsiedeln, Schwyz, Switzerland
He arrived in the US, along with one of his elder brothers, Joseph Martin KAELIN (my Great-grandfather), about 1888.
I found the Naturalization Record for Dominick. It is dated 12 November 1915. I found this on Ancestry.com.
This document lists his wife as, Maria. She is actually his second wife, and I believe her to actually be Marion FRITSCH (born 17 June 1870 in Germany). They were married 5 October 1905 in Philadelphia.
Dominick KAELIN married his first wife, Annie STEVENS (born 23 May 1871 in Germany - died about May 1904 in Philadelphia) in Philadelphia on 2 June 1894).
The above document lists the children of Dominick & Maria as follows:
Josephine - born 13 August 1896 in Philadelphia, PA.
Joseph - born 12 September 1897 in Philadelphia, PA.
Charles - born 17 October 1899 in Philadelphia, PA.
Freddy - born 7 October 1906 in Philadelphia, PA.
Helen - born 8 March 1909 in Philadelphia, PA.
Dorothy - born 5 May 1912 in Philadelphia, PA.
I believe that the first three children listed are actually the children of Dominick KAELIN & Annie STEVENS.
I have tried to trace Dominick & his family through the Census' for Philadelphia. I had found the census' for 1920 & 1930. I used these to successfully verify the names of Dominick's wife & children, as well as his Naturalization.
I have not yet been able to find when Dominick or his wife, Maria/Marion died, nor where they are buried.
