Konrad Schwartz, his wife Tererya (ex-Pfeiffer) and their 5 children were small farmers in Novi (Neu) Slankamen, currently Serbian region, but they seem to be Croatian (Roman Catholic) and certainly they were 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.
An issued was posted in the police post. 10 families of Novi Slankamen went to Brazil in the same ship from Amsterdam; 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 immigrate from Balkans, many relatives had immigrated to USA (Wisconsin, Illinois, and 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 about shared land; 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. In May 22nd, 1929 he got a local authorization  to go back  to Brazil, on June 7th, he got a visa in brazil’s  consulate in Vienna and so, they arrived back in Santos, in June 27th, 1929.
