REICHELT, Martha Alwine
1894 - 1967 (73 years)
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.
