| 40 |  | German Passport Issued to Martha Alwine Reichelt German passport photograph of Martha Alwine Reichelt, issued in Dresden, Germany 27 July 1923 from the Weimar Republic era. Family stories claim Martha emigrated to the United States at age 16, and she was born 18 Jan 1894. This puts her emigration as the year of 1912. However, a request for naturalization document from her husband, Eric B Wilkens, shows Martha emigrated to the United States 30 December 1924, and became a naturalized American citizen 1 March 1934. It is possible Martha entered the United States earlier, returned back to Germany, then returned. But, given the issues of transportation in the early 1900s, this does not seem probable. ------------------------- Google AI Translation ------------------------- Unterschrift des Pa?inhabers: Signature of the Passport Holder und seiner Ehefrau: and his wife [lined out as not applicable] Es wird hiermit bescheinigt, da? der Inhaber die durch das obenstehende Lichtbild dargestellte Person ist und die darunter befindliche Unterschrift eigenh?ndig vollzogen hat: It is hereby certified that the holder is the person represented by the photograph above and has personally executed the signature below.
