Comments Fred Schweitz, Raleigh, North Carolina, a native of Waterloo, New York
His grandfather, Heinrich Schweitz of Leipzig, Bessarabia, and his grandmother, Theresia Quas t of Plotzk, Bessarabia, immigrated to Elgin, ND. His father was born in Elgin, ND, in 1922.
They moved to Waterloo, NY in the late 1920's and this is the area where I was born in 1943 ( Seneca Falls, Seneca County, NY). We moved to a farm in a rural township of Seneca County cal led Tyre, NY, and that is where I was raised.
Tyre has very large areas of muck lands (drained swamplands) where they grew potatoes and oni ons. This was one of the surprises from the video that the German-Russians migrated to New Yo rk State to work in onion fields. I now can research to see if that, is in part, the reason w hy my grandparents moved to NY from ND. My dad and his siblings do not remember the reason fo r this relocation; only the difficulty of it all.[Harold M Wiest 2.FTW]
