General Notes (Wife)

Caroline Rafinski, named after her mother (Caroline [Schmilefski]
Rafinski), was a lifelong close sister of Augusta (Rafinski) Schneider.
She, too, was probably born in Prussia. The sisters immigrated together,
attended the same church, and raised families in close proximity.
Caroline (Jr) was 4 years older, born in 21 Dec 1862. Caroline married
Michael Jascheski (born 29 Sep 1862). This is the spelling used on their
gravestone and in their obituaries. In less trustworthy documents their
name was frequently spelled Januschewski, or a dozen other variations.

Their first child, Bertha, was born in July 1887 before the young family
migrated to the US. Michael came first, traveling from Bremen to
Baltimore on the ship "America," arriving on 4 May 1887. Months later,
Caroline, Augusta, and Bertha took the ship "California" ??? arriving in
New York ?? in1887?? Still later, their parents, Adam and Caroline
(Sr) took the ship "America" from Bremen to Baltimore, arriving on June
1890. Why they settled in Detroit is not known. There are single
references at baptisms to possibly two more siblings - Era Rafinski in
1890 (possibly married to Franz Bachholgzabref [spelling uncertain]) and
Edward Rafinski in 1891.

Michael and Caroline Janscheski produced 8 children and Augusta and
Rudolph Schneider another 10. Most of their baptismal records may be
found in the Registry of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The primary
residence of the Janscheski's became 528 Morrell, while the Schneider's
adapted to nearby 434 Lansing. The Schneider kids knew Aunt Caroline as
"Tanteline."

Michael died on 23 June 1926. Caroline outlived sister Augusta by less
than 1 year, passing away on 21 Dec 1949. Aline Schneider recalls that
Augusta's funeral procession passed by tanteline's house so that she
could wave goodbye from her porch. Michael, Caroline and son Edward
share a fine monument at Woodmere Cemetery in Section R.

Michael and Caroline children:
Bertha-b: July 1887. May have married Henry Cebukske.
Emma--b: April 1888. May have married a Brown, then a Phelps
Charles-b: Aug 1890.
Edward Rudolph-1 Dec 1891 -10 June 1917.
Martha Anna-b: 4 Nov 1893. May have married a Pitters.
Hermann Otto-b: 12 July 1896.
William Fredrich-b: abt 13 Dec 1897.
Otto Albert-b: 9 Nov 1901.
Some or all of the boys may not have married.
