Title: Theodore R. Dietzman - Indiana and Florida
Post by: Runnicus on Tuesday 14 August 12 14:06 BST (UK)
Ring any bells?  Teddy died in 1973 in Miami and was survived by two sisters.  His wife was Anabel Hiles but they married late and had no children.  He had arrived in Miami in 1945 from Indiana Harbor, Indiana.
They were my grandather's cousins and I have a letter and card from them and Anabel's parents, WIlliam and Minnie Hiles sent 1939-1942.

That's a problem because living people cannot be mentioned here by name.

As Erato said, posting about people who are or may still be living is against the rules of Roots Chat.  If you know that Teddy's sisters are deceased, you can post information about them and if any information is found about descendants, it can be sent to you via private message.

Yes, I guessed they were Illinois based from looking at the census records for a few hours.
Are you saying this is the wrong family  ??? All the names seem to match  ???


Have you looked at the family on all the census  ??? Were there not more children than you mention  ??? The father Thomas J Dietman may also have been married twice  ???

Hello Sandra,

Ho Ho Ho - I hadn't found them in the 1900.  You're quite right of course. Two wives and eleven children, eh?  Fairly normal for the time I suppose. 
 
My interest is Theodore as you know who married Anabel Hiles tho I haven't found their marriage yet.  She was 10 years older than him.  In the 1930 census they live a few streets away from each other in East Chicago, Lake County and in 1904 he's living in her house (presumably married being good church people - according to the memorial when they died in Florida). 

Have you any idea how to go about tracking naturalisation papers?  It's Anabel's father I'm after - William Hiles (b.1866 Staffordshire,England) who was supposed to have been naturalised around 1890-1893.  He was my grandfather's uncle and I've got letters from Teddy and Anabel Dietzman written in 1940.  But I've got a bit sidetracked.

How are the Dietzmanns connected to your family tree?   Through Bessie Bell?

Thanks VERY much for all your help, All the best,  Ann

Hi Ann,

No relation to your Dietzman family, just a willing researcher.

Can only see Annabel born 1888 Pennsylvania with Alfred and Kate, unfortunately cannot see one with a William.
Alfred Hiles appears to be the son of Frederick Hiles and Emma Price.  Alfred was born Abertillery, Monmouthshire, Wales. He did have a brother Willie/William born 1866 Rudgley, Staffordshire, England.

William Hiles  - Christening Date: 28 Apr 1867 - Rugeley, Staffordshire, England
Father's Name: Frederick Hiles and Mother Emma.


Annabel - 1900 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M3M9-JV4
Annabel 1910 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MKP8-Y3G

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!!  I knew about brother Alfred but never knew he went to America as well...and that HE was the father of Anabel.  Was I ever barking up the wrong tree. What revelations. 

I've been several days in replying because I've been trying to sort it all out.  And I couldn't believe seeing photos of the actual memorial plaques for some Dietzmanns. How completely marvellous of you, Sandra.  You've absolutely delighted me.

As a follow up, I'd love to have any info you might have on  the Guerry sons. 

What is 'Release of Deeds'?  Was that when Anabel inherited her parents' house maybe? 

I have never been able to find Anabel's actual birth date and place nor her marriage to Theodore R. Dietzman. 

I've also never found the deaths of William Hiles and his wife Minnie Kaufmann.  They must have died around 1940 in Dade County, Florida.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and for guiding me in the right direction at last.

All the best to you and yours,  Ann Berry

You're very welcome Ann, pleased to help.

Believe the release of deeds was to do with the winding up of Annabel's mothers estate since she had died a few years previous.

Perhaps this was William Hiles

Thank you Sandra,

That might indeed be the death of William Hiles.  Do you know where I could write to in the USA to get a death certificate?

You did say that you would send me the names and birthdates and family details of the two Lind Van Buskirk/Guerry sons.  But I haven't seen them.

Thanks so much for your help.  You're really good at this!
