SOURCES: Microfilmed Records of the German Churches listed above and many which are not mentioned. ........................................................................... NOTES: Please note that child #1 was born nearly eight years before the marriage of her parents. I searched for several years to try and find a better answer to solve this mystery but came up with nothing which made better sense. Could it have been military service which took the father away, or the need to find work in another area? I do know that often these German day laborers did not have the few cents it took to get permission to marry. Anyone connected to this family might like to find other answers.
