Anna Friske (Friska, Fryszke)

tonysmydra — 2011-09-23 01:33:42Z

I am looking for information on the lineage of my great-grandmother, Anna Friske. We have seen her name spelled as Friska and Friske. When we found her marriage documentation in the Poznan Project, we found it spelled Fryszke. We believe her father's name was Anton. The marriage document is: Ryczywół, Oborniki, Wielkopolskie, Poland Catholic parish in Ryczywół [Ritschenwalde], entry # 4 in 1876 Martinus Smydra alias Szudra (26) Anna Fryszke (26).

If you have any information relating to her, please contact me, either here, or at tonysmydra@hotmail.com

Thank you.

Thanks Kendall! We are definitely 'related'! Several of us are continuing to uncover some Friske connections and other leads. I left you a direct message with contact info in your messages area. Definitely willing to share info to continue the ancestry quest, so hope we can connect.

kjenning_1 — 2010-11-21 19:23:05Z

Hello!
My name is Kendall Jennings and Bernard Wilhelm (Ben) Friske was my great-great-grandfather.
Ben's descendants are nearly all in Washington, I believe, and in my research I've also discovered that Emilie (Friske) Dallman's descendants are in Kentucky.
I don't know what information you have, so I'll just give you what I know!
As far as I know . .
Carl Friske d. 1904 m Wilhelmine Zaske Abt. 1860 Prussia (probably Pommern), daughter of Zaske and Manske
She was born 1844, probably also Pommern, and died 1918 in Terrill, IA

Notes for Carl:
Died of a door falling on him

Notes for Wilhelmine:
Came to the US after husband's death in 1904
In 1892 she made plans for sons Bernard and Richard to come to the US. They came aboard ship from Germany together and landed at Baltimore, MD. They took the train for New Ulm, MN. They arrived and got off the train, but as no one had come to meet them they stayed overnight in the depot drinking water from pools of frozen water. They next day someone came for them, probably their sister Bertha. It was also probably Bertha and her husband who sponsored Richard and Ben.

Children:
Emilie Friske b. 1865 Neu Sanskow, Kreis Belgard, Prussia (now Zajaczkowko, Poland) m. Gustav Moritz Dallman 11 Nov 1888 d. 1947 Terrill, Dickinson Co., IA
Bertha Friske m. Heinrich Tuenge 11 Jun 1891, New Ulm, MN d. 1959
Richard Friske m. Mayme
Bernard Wilhelm Friske b. 23 Nov 1877 in Hinter Bollhagen, Mecklenberg, Vorpommern, Germany d. 11 Aug 1961 in Wenatchee, WA
m. Mary Elizabeth Luetjens 23 Sep 1903 Spokane, WA, daughter of Heinrich Luetjens and Wilhelmina Niehaus. She was born 25 Mar 1881 Hannover, Kingdom of Hannover (then part of Prussia, I believe), Prussia d. 20 Apr 1953 Wenatchee, WA

Bernard came to the US 1892, settled in Hamburg, MN. He came to WA 1900 with the Great Northern Railway working as a track layer.
He owned and operated a fruit ranch at Okanogan and Crawford Streets until his retirement in 1953.
Cremated and interred in Cypress Lawn Cemetery, Everett, WA
Burial: 14 Aug 1961
According to my grandpa, Bernard and Mary spoke German to each other, but never to anyone else. He also made kept pigs and chickens and made his own sausage.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you want to know more about our side of the family further into the future, or if you find anything else interesting about Wilhelmina or Carl!
Thanks, Minnesotan relatives!

Kendall

Update On Friske (Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa)

Bertha, Ben, Richard and Emelie (Amelia) Friske's mother was Wilhelmina (Lomina/Minnie)Zaske Friske. She did immigrate to US in 1904. She first went to Bertha's in Minnesota. Bertha is referenced on the ship listing as well Wilhelmina can be found the next year in 1905 territorial census of MN living with Bertha and husband Henry Tuenge. Wilhelmina then went and lived with daughter Emelie Friske Dallman (married to Gus) near Estherville, IA. Wilhelmina is buried in Terril IA cemetery - died in 1918. There are additional siblings listed for Bertha and family pictures -indicating other at least 1/2 siblings. Would like any other additional Friske info to help trace back the pictures and German/Pommern connections.

Augusta Friske Koves-Hankinson North Dakota

colettebearman — 2010-03-31 17:12:29Z

Seeking information on Augusta Friske Koves. She was born in Germany 30 Jan.1848 and married Rudolph Koves. He passed in Germany and Augusta's brother (would like his name) was living near Hankinson, North Dakota. He had Augusta bring her 6 children to America in 1890. She married Herman Struble in 1891 and they moved to Oregon between 1910 and 1920.
Thanks for any help.

Hello Meg,

Nice to hear from you. I don't have much on your line from Johann "John" and his son on down, but we have in common Micheal and Christina (Gebauer) Friske.

I'm sure I've probably added info to the line since my Ancestry posting, so please contact me via email at Lhugeback@nestcape.net and I'll share with you what I have. I'd love to exchange data with you as well.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I have been perusing this site all afternoon & am fascinated to find so much info about my father's family (Marshall R. Friske). His father, Herman Harold Friske (1902-1963) was the son of John Friske & Regina Macus (Markus, Mackus). Much of what you have written was relayed to me by my grandmother, Pauline Stelter Friske before she died in 2004. My family has lived in and around the Oneida, NY area for many years. Once I have merged the information you have presented with my own records, I will be back in touch. meg

Re: Friske Info - Bertha, Richard, Ben, George, Mack, Albert - Minnesota Washington

tilliewillie — 2007-12-17 03:43:49Z

This would be exciting if there is a connection. Is it Carl Friske that was your g.grandfather or did you have a Carl Tuenge? Bertha's father would have been Carl Friske, but I would be interested in comparing Tuenge information as well to see if your branch is related to ours. I have information on August and Augusta Tuenge who immigrated from Pommern with their children, the youngest one of which was an 'adopted' son Emil. I still don't know his connections if he was a daughters son out of wedlock or somehow related and they raised him / a grandson or other. This Emil lived in Minneapolis area and had quite a few children although he had lived in another state or two I think when younger or first married maybe.

I do not know much about August Tuenge and Augusta (Schroeder) prior to Minnesota, other than their children and descendents of course and where they are buried etc in Minnesota. I have a wedding picture and a family one with a couple of the older children missing, but it was taken at around the time of immigration - around 1889 or 90? Then a picture or two of them in their older years. My g.g. grandfather August Tuenge died I think in 1900 around West Newton/Fairfax MN and is buried in a rural cemetery there. She lived another 20 some years. Perhaps your Tuenges were siblings or cousins? I'd love to find out more about their generation or other family that came from Germany/Pommern etc. Also, I've found the branches crossed over and there were some cousins marrying cousins which makes it tricky.

I'd be interested in sharing info or comparing notes. I have since found that I think the brother of g.grandmother Bertha out in Washington was Ben Friske (Bernard or Berhard). I have an aunt yet living that visited them while they were stationed out there during WWII years.

Friske Info - Bertha, Richard, Ben, George, Mack, Albert - Minnesota Washington

tilliewillie — 2007-09-08 22:30:57Z

I am looking for Friske ancestor information and very interested if anyone has similar ancestry in their trees. A great great grandmother was Bertha Friske. She came from Germany (maybe the Pommern area) and went to New Ulm Minnesota area where she married in 1891 in Nicollet County - New Ulm area,MN to Henry (Heinrich Fredrich) Tuenge. They lived in Minnesota at West Newton and Buffalo Lake, Wellington / Fairfax areas until about 1914 then homesteaded / farmed near Perth North Dakota and retired / died at Fessenden, ND area in the 1950's. Bertha Friske Tuenge died in 1959.

Her father was probably Carl, but I still do not know what her mothers name was. I'm not sure if they stayed in Germany or came to US. I know she had a sister Emelia or Emelie that was a Dallmann (Gus) and there was a Ben, Mack or Max, George, Albert, Otto and Richard in the US (not necessarily in that age order). Some siblings were at least originally in Minnesota, and at least one of the brothers lived in Washington still up to 1940s either the Spokane or Seattle area. There may have also been a sister that lived in Washington in the 1940s as well. Pauline (Neuborer), Mathilda and Herman I have possible mention remained in Germany on an obit.

Can anyeone help with any detail? Any of these names show up on anyone's trees? I'm very interested in finding out more about the Friske side of the family, lines, obituaries, immigration / German - Pommern detail, etc.

Amilia Augusla Sasse Schmidt/SOS

RhondaMontenegro — 2006-08-08 06:26:20Z

Here is a great mystery! My great grandmother shows up in the 1930 census. However, she disappears after that. She immigrated in 1881 and was married to a Robert Willard Schmidt. I can't find marriage or death information on either of these two. Amilia died at home on a farm Jan 31, 1955Iin Duluth, Minn. She was born May 4, 1877, Prussia Germany. I can't find immigration imfo either.Can anyone at all shed a little light on this? I have been working on this forever and I keep hitting firewalls so-to-speak. Someone, anyone, please help at least direct me to the place to get the info I need? Thank you for taking the time to read this, and your help. Rhonda Tretsven-Montenegro /Dreamcatcherretm@aol.com

Re: Emil Friske b 1871

2005-07-18 04:24:53Z

Hi,
Sorry its taken so long to answer your inquiry about a death certificate for an Emil Friske. I believe my Emil Frisk was born in Ignace, Ontario in 1874. Emil is his middle name. His first name was John. However, I would be interested in what it says on the death certificate you have. My Emil died in Seattle, Washington. He was a professional baseball player who was the winning pitcher for the Detroit Tigers first professional baseball game. You never know, records back then were not always accurate.

Hope you are still at this email address. Thanks for posting on the Ancestry.com Frisk/Friske board.

With warmest regards,

Fran Frisk Lenyo

TLaudolffGuest — 2005-06-19 22:05:29Z

I would be interested in where your Friske's were from in Poland. My Friske's were from the Sompolno area of Poland. Time period 1820's. Elisabeth Friske married Peter Doberstein in around 1826 . Her parents were Chrisoph and Anna Katherine Benke Friske. There was a brother by the name of Andreas, who married Marianna Zuelke. Their children were born in Pogozelec area of Konin,Poland.
They had 4 children: Anna Kristine (who married a Radatz and then a Sommerfeldt) Gottried who married Eva Drews
Karoline who married a Ziewet and Samuel (spouse unknown)
I would be interested to know were your friske are from and would be interested in sharing any possible data. Thanks Tana Laudolff

Re: FRISKE RADKE from PRUSSIA.

TLaudolffGuest — 2005-06-19 22:05:29Z

Wayne: For quick reference were would the two towns you mentioned be located? I did quickly run through the records that I have for Lubstow parish (1808-1833) and though Friskes, no Julius. (Which I would not have expected.based on his birth date.) Would you know Julius 's parents name?
Do you have a copy of his birth record which would tell you ? With my family being in the Sompolno area, I have come across some names that just seem to repeat themselves, and so until I get a 'picture'of area , I keep digging> Hope you don't mind. Thanks Tana

FRISKEY

kaseydog_1 — 2005-03-08 16:44:46Z

Lucinda, my Friskeys were in MI. Originally Joanna Friskey (that is her married name, I do not know maiden name, yet) came to Sheyboygan WI in about 1850's. THey were in MI for sure by 1865 when one of their sons was born in Superior City, which I am guessing is Superior now. No body can seem to locate the name. They had 12 other children, the next ones being born in IL. Charles Friskey was the husband of Joanna Friskey. Lets hope this is a link. I am desperate for information on them. Looking forward to your reply.
