Both in Elblaskie.
Walter BRAUN was my grandfather's brother.
Without this alumni citation I could never have located the birth
place of their parents.   I have the immigration data and the birth
records
from Elbing/ Elblag for the two older sisters, but have been unable to
locate
more records.
Emil Braun (patternmaker) & Matilda Dann  immigrated to Chicago in 1891.

Their children were born in Elbing/ Elblag  WP/ Poland
Bertha Lisilte Nathalie Braun b 1873 md Rudolph Wrobbel  died NY
Emma Emilie Mathilde Braun  b. 1875 md  ??  returned to Europe died
after WWII
Walter Charles Emil Braun b 1881  never md  died 1905 Chicago, IL
Erich Bernhart Braun  b. 1885  md  Marjorie Bear  died 1933 CA

I am most appreciative for all the wonderful volunteers who have posted
info
to the internet that it made possible to find the info going past
Elbing.
I have only been working on this line about 30 years.
Any help appreciated, Thanks one and all.
