Other Events:

• Immigration: Abt 1867–1868, USA

Notes:

Birth:
He was commonly known as F. W. or Fritz Nolte.

Immigration:

     According to Nolte family tradition, Heinrich Frederick emigrated to the USA from England about 1867 or 1868 as part of an extended family group, which included his father, Wilhelm, his mother, Maria and his younger sister, Friedericke; also, his grandfather, Frederick Nolte; and his uncle, Carl Nolte.
     Accompanying the Nolte family was his married aunt, Dorothea Friederike Henriette (Nolte) Rabius, her husband, Heinrich Rabius, and Herman Rabius, brother of Heinrich.
     It would appear that Heinrich and Friederieke (Nolte) Rabius stopped at Louisville, Kentucky in May 1868 for the birth of their son (and only child), Gustav H. Rabius. By 1869 the family had arrived in Lafayette County, Missouri.
     It is not known whether all of this extended family stopped in Louisville, or if some members traveled directly to Missouri and arrived before 1869.
