I got the death certificate for Frank Sanetra today. He was born abt 1866, & died 4 Mar 1935. He was buried in a paupers grave at St. Gabriel cemetery in Bremen, Cook County, Illinois. One thing I noticed that could be very helpful on Chicago death certificates (if it was filled in), was if a person wasn't born in the US, how long had they lived here? So Frank Sanetra lived in the US for 15 years. But he lived in Bremen 2 years, 4 months & 16 days, according to the death certificate. So he probably immigrated to Chicago about 1920 & then moved to Bremen area about Nov 16, 1932. The death certificate also says he was a widower. So we know he was married, but not much else. I have exhausted every search possibility & name variations I can think of. And this record is all I can find. I can't find immigration or census info & he should at least be on the 1930 Census. I would look him up by census maps, but I can't find his address on current maps. In 1935 at his time of death, the address was "1533 Tell Place" in Bremen. But Frank wasn't in Bremen until 1932 which was after the 1930 Census, of course. I called St. Gabriel cemetery and they did confirm he was buried there, in a paupers grave, no tombstone. And no further info on him. A family letter said Adam Sanetra had an uncle Frank Sanetra that lived in Chicago, so I expected this to be the uncle. And I had hoped to find out how he was related. This is the only Frank Sanetra I've seen. So attached is my only proof a Frank Sanetra lived in this country. I hope someone recognizes this info.
