1926

• My parents, John [born December 26, 1921 in Alexanderkrone, Russia] and Marie Dick, along with my brother Henry and I docked in Quebec in August of 1924. ... During the winter of 1926, our family, along with the Mathies, Thiessen and Berg families, rented a house near Tavistock  ... In the meantime, Reverend Jacob W. and Mrs. Lohrenz had come to Essex County to act as liason for immigrant families coming to the Essex-Kent area. In spring of 1926, my Father came to take a look around. First he went to see Cornelius Neufeld who was already working in the fishery at Port Crewe ...

1928 - 1938

• In 1928, at the urging of  Jake Kornelsen (brother of Maria Mietz Kornelsen), Frederick Wilhelm Krause,  Marie Mietz, Krause and Heinrich Wilhelm Krause, moved from Germany to the seventh concession, Wheatley, Ontario. They shortly moved to Port Crewe, about thirty kilometres east of Wheatley, on Highway 3, the Talbot Trail, where F. W. Krause worked on a fishing boat for Crewe Bros. Fishery.
• Helena Kornelsen (b. June 17, 1901) [Tante Lange], sister of Maria Mietz, and her husband Cornelius Neufeld (August 5, 1898-June 2, 1972), who were married May 31, 1924,  lived in Port Crewe where their three children were born:
  • Helena (April 18, 1925)
  • Agnes (April 23, 1926)
  • Helga (February 5, 1930)
• Here F. W. Krause worked on a fishing boat.

• Here, Carl Rudolph Krause was born, on September 3, 1931

As A Kid I Visited the Site of the Fishery and Where My Grandmother Worked the Fields.

This Looks Very Familiar!
