Helpbananarama's History Congrats - Sign-ups and Round 1
I wanted to do another one. This time, I'll try to finish it. I decided to title it differently. It will start in 1900 and end in 1975.
Rules:
- I'm taking the first 14 sign-ups.
- Feel free to use nicknames.
- Names are your choice for the entire game, but try to make them believable, i.e. I don't recommend you use names like Nevaeh or Brayden. You don't have to use musty outdated names, though.
- Do not hyperlink.
- If you want to drop out, tell me.
- There may be events in later rounds.
It is the year 1900 and you have had your first child (gender is your choice).
Fill out the sign-up form:
LN:
DH: (date of birth)
DW: (date of birth)
D?: (date of birth)
Location: (can be anywhere)
IMPORTANT: Write a brief summary on the couple.

DH: Adrian David [1879-]
DW: Shelley Grace [1881-]
DS: Niklause "Klaus" Herman [1900-]
Adrian is a poor German immigrant and Shelley is the daughter of a inn-keeper. They met and were married in 1899, living in the cramped living quarters of a rented room in a boarding house in Boston. The boarding house is run by the blind widower Mr. Booker Stiles and his two daughters, five year old Julie and self-proclamed 19 year old spinster Rosie, who helps her father keep the boarding house.
Their first son Klaus was born in December of 1900. Rosie was the midwife.

DH: Erik Sigurd (February 27, 1878)(22)
DW: Ylva Karina (January 16, 1880)(20)
DD: Karin Beata (August 12, 1900)(0)
Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA
The Lindgren family emigrated from Sweden to the United States last year. Erik and Yvla left Sweden seeking a better life. They traveled from New York City to Philadelphia to live with Erik's older brother, who emigrated to the US with his wife five years before Erik and Ylva did. Erik is helping his brother-in-law run his thriving furniture and woodworking business. Ylva has a knack for the English language, and she has learned very quickly. She has established a school for children (and adults as well) that teaches in both Swedish and English.
Erik and Ylva's daughter Karin was born a few months ago. They wanted her to have a name that would be easy for American people to pronounce, but that would reflect their heritage. Karin is a very healthy baby, and the Lindgren's are counting their blessings.

A little bit about Lily and Sam:
Lily and Sam met the summer of 1898. Lily was a fifteen year old, accompanying her parents to several sites around Boston. Her father stopped for a brief chat with the president of Harvard University, his alma mater. While there, Samuel literally bumped into Lily. It was fate from there. Her father approved of him because he was a Harvard boy. Her mother just wanted to see Lily happy. They were married a year later.

DH: Albert Joseph "Al" Tate (23rd May 1880)
DW: Helen May Tate (14th February 1882)
DS: James Albert Tate (13th June 1900)
Location: Bath, England
Helen was from a well-respected family and was one of four daughters. She was the second youngest and generally accepted as the quietest and best behaved - until she suddenly fell pregnant, and was unsure of the father, bringing shame on the family. Helen was forced to marry Albert Tate, the son of a family friend, and when James was born it was decided that he would be considered Albert's son. Albert is an intellectual and is quite shy, and Helen is a music lover and just as introverted as her husband. They love each other mostly because they were told to, but get along quite well.
