Underhill Ave. during the 1914-18 Great War

dailyheights

Got this from Geoff Parry by e-mail. Can anyone help out?

Can anyone help me to find any information about Dr. Louis Fricke & his wife Martha.

Martha Maria Fricke (nee Anwyl) was a relation of my father and I have copies of letters written by her during the 1914-18 Great War when she and her husband lived on Underhill Ave. She also mentions going on vacation to her old family home in Minersville or Pottsville Penn.

Any news would be appreciated which helps in finding ancestors who emigrated to America from North Wales UK.

The Ellis Island website is an amazing resource. I actually found my grandfather's mother Efrossini on there. It's better if you have an idea of when they came over but you still have to go through alot of files. I put Fricke in and got 565 exact matches. Pretty cool that you can look all this up online.
