Family history:

Crefeld:

In 1908 a boat sailed into New York harbor with the first Crefelds to reach America. Franz Crefeld, with his wife Gertrude Witting and two sons, Peter and Frank, entered America with hope and promise. They settled in North Arlington, NJ to live their new lives out. Franz was a boiler-maker, and worked with the Witting relatives from Cranford, NJ. Two more sons were born in North Arlington, bringing the total to four sons: Peter (my grandfather) was the oldest, Frank, John and Nicolas.
