Helene (Hustedt) Felguth's History: 1906 - 1983

Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    Helene was born in Germany in around 1905. She immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island when she was seventeen. She soon met the love of her life, Heinz Felguth, who had also immigrated from Germany, and they fell in love and got married. They lived in Brooklyn, New York, and raised two children--my father Ernest, and his sister Joan. She was a devout Christian, and a wonderful cook. Although she died of cancer when I was only seven years old, I remember her gentle, quiet spirit, and strong German stature. She was a kind grandmother that I wish I could've known longer.

In 1906, in the year that Helene Felguth was born, Finland became the first European country to give women the vote and to allow them to run for political office. (Women in Australia and New Zealand already had that right but couldn't run for office.) Although Finland belonged to the Russian Empire, there was great unrest and the Tsar wanted to broker a quick peace. As a part of the brokered peace, women got the vote.
