Notes for Charles Tietbohl:Immigrated to America from Demmin, Germany in 1884 with wife Frederica and two sons Charles, William and one daughter Wilhelmina. Charles bought a farm in Washington Twp, Pennsylvania on land now owned by the Federal Government as part of the Allenwood Federal Correction Facility (Allenwood Prison camp). The place was near Alvira. One child died in Germany before immigration.
Information on Charles and Frederica's vital statistics from LDS ancestral files and the 1900 Census.Charles and family in 1900 are mis indexed as TIETBHOL.The 1900 census shows Charles, wife Ricky and children William and Augustus are living on the farm in Washington Twp.Son Charles F. immigrated with them but is not in this 1900 household. Daughter Wilhelmina is not in the household either.

Letter from Demmin dated 25 January 1960 from Frank Maerz who performed research in the Demmin area gives additional information. No record was found in the Demmin Church records of the Tietbohl family. In the rural district of Schmarsow near Demmin:
In the marriage record of that church we found that Johann Carl Friedrich Tietbohl, farm laborer, age 28 and Friederika Sophia Huhr, age 23 were married on 30 September 1873.
In the Baptismal register we found the names of their children:
Caroline Friederike Wilhelmina Tietbohl born 18 June 1874 and Carl Friedrich Theodor Tietbohl born 23 February 1876.At that time the parents were living in Borgwall near Demmin.
From church member Richard Tietbohl living in Utzedel near Demmin we learned that his great uncle is supposed to have migrated to America. Richard's grandfather was Carl Friedrich Tietbohl, born 18 December 1825. The parents of Carl were Johann Michael Tietbeul and Marie Hagar.
It is possible but not proven that Carl Friedrich and Joachim were brothers and that the prior generation was Johann Michael Tietbeul and Marie Hagar.
Unfortunately all church records before 1846 were destroyed by the war events and no further information is available.
