 Hi Kay99 and Klouman,
Thank you so much for your kindness and the time you spent doing this lookup

It has helped me to fill in some mysteries for myself and a cousin. :)

Gladd to help, Marybeth. It is a pity I could not find John's death or traced Johanna & David. Very difficult if no middle name & such a common surname.
