The Kaski & Untiedt Family Trees

My great aunt Elaine (nee Kaski) had been married to Albert Rothbauer, bearing two children from the marriage. In adding brief pieces of lineage related to the former Albert Rothbauer, I also came across the Petition for Naturalization of Jan (americanized as John) Rothbauer, Albert's father.

Folger. J.A. Folger was the founder of the Folgers coffee brand.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._A._Folger
