Introduction

According to Rose's Census and death information, she was born in Germany, her parents born in Germany. Censuses state her native tongue was German. A maiden name of Schmidt was confirmed on some of her children's marriage records. Although on birth records of 3 of her children her maiden name appears as Bakowitz, Prokofsky and Laboski respectively. One of those records state she was born in Poland as well as that country indicated on 2 of Rose's children's censuses after Rose was deceased. So her natal state, maiden name and ethnic background are still a puzzle. The fact that record keeping was haphazard with gross misspellings in that era contributes to the mystery. In the 1910 Census Rose (age 54) shows as a widow with 3 of her (adult) children still living with her. In NY State 1915 Census she is 62. In the 1920 Census she's 62 and the 1930 Census places her at age 80. In the death records, she was born ca 1848 and was 85 at her death in 1933. Since it says she was 80 in the 1930 Census, this is feasible. Her arrival year showed as 1872 on most data, one saying 1863. One document states she was naturalized in 1880. Don't know if she was already married when she emigrated. Immigration records have turned up nothing for Rose or her husband. Cannot find Rose (or her husband Anthony/Anton) in Censuses prior to 1910. A census states that Rose was married at age 22. The 1910 Census shows that Rose had born 9 children, 5 living at the time. Found out through her son's 1931 obituary that she had 4 surviving daughters, 3 married/widowed, one single. Rose and son George were buried in St John's Cemetery 9718 Flatlands Ave, Canarsie, Brooklyn. Though per research that cemetery is actually in Middle Village, Queens. The latter charges a fee to research burials. Am presuming Find A Grave volunteers not allowed in the cemetery.
