The child of Henry Winkler and Caroline Rohrbach, Amelia was born in San Francisco on July 5, 1893.
She married William C Frische, son of German-born Henry Frische and Californian Minnie around 1911 or 1912.
Amelia and William had a son, William H. Frische, born on May 1, 1913. According to the Frische family, he fell down the basement stairs at the age of two (August 1, 1915), and is buried with his grandparents in Colma, CA. This little boy ninety years later helped me to find his mother.
Edith Frische was born June 15, 1916 I'm pretty sure. She was three in the 1920 census. They had Loraine Louise Frische on January 23, 1921.
Some time after that and before the next census Amelia and William divorced. In 1930 she was boarding with another family with the two girls and he was married to another woman.
I don't know for sure when Amelia died. She probably remarried though it isn't likely she had any more children. [SCRATCH THAT! She married a Mr. Johnson and died in San Mateo county on April 14, 1982 at the age of 88. sorry... how long was i sitting on that fact?]
Her daughter, Lorainne either kept her maiden name or never married, she passed away in 2000. We aren't sure about Edith. She may have married a Trabucco or Dressler...
IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS FAMILY LINE, PLEASE CONTACT US!!!
[am now in contact with one of the Frische family as of 2009!!!]
Amelia is NOT the second child, this was a mistake. She was born in July of 1893 in San Francisco.
