  Konrad Schwartz, his wife Tererya (ex-Pfeiffer) and their 5 children were small  farmers in Novi Slankamen, currently Serbian region, but they seem to be Croatian (Catholic) and  they have germany native-speakers.
  He knew that Brazil's Government was encouraging the immigration to Brazil, offering shared land which could be paid off by future work.
  A  issued was posted  in the police wall. 10 families of Novi Slankamen went to Brazil in the same ship from Amsterdan, they arrived in Brazil in the last months of 1924.
  Konrad and Tererya took  4  of their 5 children with them. Their oldest daughter Elizabeth  Harder (ex-Turk), 18 years old, had immigrated  directly to New York from Le Havre port in Dec, 20th 1920, with her Husband Peter Turk (23). They lived in Granite City, Illinois, USA.
  It was a time to immigration from balkans, many relatives had immigrated to USA (Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas) and Canada,  the few who stayed in Europe  immigrated to Austria after War II.
  After they arrived, they realized the Brazilian's Government would not keep its word, Konrad took a difficult decision; to go back to Novi Slankamen, leaving only the 2 oldest children in Brazil. But with the trip he had spent great amount of money and the life in Europe had become much more difficult.
