Hi all, I have just received the death cert. of Johann Karl Ludwig(Louis)Degenhardt from Vic. and it is extremely hard to read but does offer the following.The death was registered by G Degenhardt, brother. As to the question of his wife, he was married (and this is extremely difficult to read) in Praunschveria(?) Germany aged 26 to Carolina CODDE. His children were Minna age 45, Anna age 44, Robert & Louis twins age 41 and Betty dead. Now interestingly, there is a X next to Carolina's name and in the column there is a notation which reads:Codde in column 12 ...read COTTE. This well and truly proves that Johann is definately Louis and he did come out on the George Washington. But how did Hamster change to Cotte? Help!!
