  Biography Flag of Poland Gottfried Strauss migrated from Poland to United States. Flag of United States Gottfried was a farmer. Gottfried was born in 1805. He passed away in 1880. [1] Information from Eva Zimmer says he was born 1805 as best as she could remember - however; birth dates in various census and notes put birth date at anywhere from 1803 to 1813 (clearly a mistake). We will use the headstone birth date 1805 as the selected date. Also found in 1875 Census, Gottfried age 73 Elizabeth 70 and daughter Mary age 30 and son Fred age 28. [2] In 1880 Census, Gottfried is widowed as Ilsabe Elisabeth died in 1875, and living with his daughter Mary now married to Christ Jacob age 38 and their son Charlie Jacob age 2 months. Gottfried died in 1880 after the census. [3] Prior to immigration in 1853, the family was in Königsberg, (Królewiec in Polish), and Paslek, Poland about 100km distance apart. We can not fix dates which was first or second. Konisberg, which has been part of Russia, Poland and Germany and was founded in 1255. A Baltic port city, it successively became the capital of the State of the Teutonic Order, the Duchy of Prussia and the provinces of East Prussia and Prussia. Königsberg remained the coronation city of the Prussian monarchy from 1701 onwards, though the capital was Berlin. From the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries on, the inhabitants spoke predominantly German, although the city also had a profound influence upon the Lithuanian and Polish cultures. It was a publishing center of Lutheran literature; this included the first Polish translation of the New Testament, printed in the city in 1551, as well as the first book in Lithuanian and the first Lutheran catechism, both printed in Königsberg in 1547. Königsberg is now part of Russia and known as Kaliningrad. Paslek, Poland Latitude: 54° 03' 60.00" N Longitude: 19° 39' 59.99" E. Sources ?
