Conrad and Elizabeth Albrecht Family
The book One of Many by Reuben Bauer lists the Conrad Albrecht family. Conrad was born in Norka on April 9, 1873, and was confirmed in the Reformed faith in 1888 by Rev. Wilhelm Stärkel. In February 1895, Conrad married Miss Elizabeth Derr, born in Norka on August 25, 1877. Elizabeth was confirmed at age 15 by Rev. Stärkel. This couple, with two children and Conrad's mother (Christina Marie Albrecht), emigrated from Russia in February 1900 and arrived in Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada, several weeks later. Upon arrival, the couple joined the Reformed Church (a log building at that time). In later years, they were active Glory Hills Baptist Church members.
The children born to this family were: Henry (September 12, 1896), Katie (October 30, 1899), John (July 17, 1901), Elizabeth (March 22, 1903), Emma (June 3, 1906), William (May 10, 1911), Annie (June 14, 1913), Adam (April 9, 1914), Reuben (May 13, 1915), Lawrence (May 1917), Clarence (July 19, 1919), and Sarah (April 3, 1922).
