Hi List - I am usually a lurker, but here is one tiny area where I have a
little experience. Our family story says that when Nicholas Tiedemann
wanted to return to Wilster, Schleswig-Holstein (presumably to show off his
wife and two little boys) he made SURE to have his American passport with
him. He had been warned that the German military would be waiting for him
because he had left while still owing military duty to them. Sure enough,
they came, and he showed the document and was home free. Now, here is my
point: his application for an American passport is ON FILM !! Hooray!
It was hand-written by him on his grocery store stationary from Sioux City,
Iowa. The film is from the Fam Hist Center, and I think the passport
applications are under "United States Government - Emigration and
Immigration". When I got the date of the application, then I could look at
the passenger lists to fine the family.
I hope I explained it clearly enough. If they applied for a passport, then
they probably intended to use it for international travel, and that travel
would probably be back to the Old Country. Elizabeth in Tacoma~
