• Notes

  There is a bit of mystery regarding Charles (Carl). He is listed in various sources differently. 1. He is listed in the 1860 Federal census as Charles, age 2, with his parents, Mathias and Mary, and siblings, suggesting a birthdate in 1858. 2. He is listed in the 1875 Minnesota state census as Chales with his parents, Mathias and Mary, and siblings. 3. He is listed in the 1870 Federal census as Charles, age 12, in Winona with his parents, Mathias and Mary, and siblings, suggesting a birthdate in 1858. 4. He is listed in the 1875 Minnesota state census as Chas, age 17, with his parents in Winona, Mathias and Mary, and siblings, suggesting a birthdate in 1858. 5. He is no longer listed in the 1885 Minnesota state census with his parents and siblings in Winona. 6.In the 1895 Minnesota state there is a Carl E. Staack, age 36, listed in St. Paul as a barber with his wife, Augusta and daughter Sylvia. This would suggest a birthdate about 1859. The census date is 1 May, 1895 so Carl would not have turned 37 until two months later. This would again sugggest a birthdate in 1858. Augusta's age is also listed as 36 so this would suggest her birth date is also aroung 1858 or 1859. 7. Carl E. Staack is listed in the 1900 Federal Census with his family in St. Paul. The birtdate is listed as July 1860. His wife Augusta's birth date is list as Nov. 1861, much later than the 1895 census suggests so, for some reason, these dates seem erroneous. 8. In the 1905 Minnesota census both Carl and Augusta are listed as 44 years old which suggest their birth dates were about 1861. 9. In the 1920 Federal census, Carl Staack and his son, Carl Staack, Jr., are listed together as lodgers. Carl's age is 62 which would imply his birth was around 1858, but the census lists his place of birth as New York for some reason. It also lists his father and mother's birth place as Holstein which would be consistent with the place Mathias Staack emegrated from. 10. Carl E. Staack is listed as a widower in the 1930 Federal census, age 72, which again suggests a birthdate of 1858. 11. Carl E. Staack's death certificate lists his parents as Richard Staack and Mary Patterson rather than Mathias Staack and Mary Peterson. Conclusion: If Charles and Carl are the same person, it appears he changed his name when he moved to St. Paul. It seems strange that his father is listed as Richard on his death certificate, but everything else suggests that they are the same person.
