Gotlieb Bittner, b. 1825 at Wloclawek, Poland, d. April 1921 at Goldap, East Prussia
Additional, unverified information on Gotlieb came from a Polish researcher. I have untranslated copies of the documents he found. His summary follows.
"I researched the Catholic and Evangelic churchbooks. The Evangelic parish was established in 1829. Earlier the Lutherans had to register in the Catholic parish since there was no other. In the Wloclawek, Catholic churchbook I found:
1. the marriage certificate of Wilhelm Bytner (Beitner, Beytner) with Marianna Aprycell (Apeceller) #48, 1820 Wloclawek State Archive.
2. Their children: * Gottlieb *1821 #58 WSA* * Anna Christina *1823 #206 WSA* I have found none of a exact spelling "Bittner, Buettner". But as you see, even for Wilhelm I found three different spellings of his surname and there is no doubt that this is the same person. There are still some documents to research from the year 1823-1828."

The following testimony from Carol Hartt (Winder) is based on her mother's recollections.
"They had six children - four boys and two girls. My grandfather, Adolf, was the fourth child and he was born in 1889. Grandpa and Grandma, with their four children at that time, came to Canada in 1913 to Caroline and Daniel's farm near Laird, Saskatchewan. When the Tohms moved to Edmonton later that year, my grandparents moved with them. My grandfather worked off a debt to Daniel, originating with his passage to Canada. In 1915, the Tohms moved back to Saskatchewan to a farm near Young."
