| Abstract | Fritz Herman Karl Bertermann was born in Moers, North Rhine/Westphalia, Germany, in 1909. He came to the U.S. in 1912 with his parents Karl and Bertha and sister Carol. Karl and Bertha divorced in 1919, and in 1920 Bertha married Rudolf Grosshofer in Germany, then returned to join Fritz and Carol in Chicago. Fritz and Carol used their step-father's surname, Grosshofer, though no records of a formal adoption have been located. In 1937, Fred married Grace J. Johnson in Oak Park, Illinois -- both Grace and Fred worked at Douglas Aircraft in Chicago. In 1940 Grace and Fred sought to legally change their surname to Gylund. |
