It is a long story which I've written about several times in other venues, so I won't repeat the whole thing here. Her supposed parents were married nearly 8 years after her birth and a search of local records located a guardianship in which Franciska was named as another man's child (and Barbara was named as his widow).

I found a marriage license for a younger child with Mary's last name different than all of my other documentation. I searched for more evidence. I found the older child's marriage record with the correct maiden name of the mother. Finally I found a new marriage record for John and Mary. His first wife, Mary, had died and he remarried another wife named Mary. Michelenoreply@blogger.com
