Subject: Suggestion for "Our Family History" Listing

Thanks for sharing your wonderful website!

I've just discovered it and will enjoy seeing what I might discover about our interests (Hankamer, Stengler, Krantz and Wilborn families in southeast Texas.)

I do have a couple of suggestions for the following individual (an ancestor of my wife, on whom we've done considerable research)

your site's person ID: 138906, name: Johanetta Margaretha Schuster

(1) You show her correct birthdate as 7 Sept 1805 near the top of the form, but in the "notes" section it's shown as 1808. (Don't you hate those sneaky topos?)
(2) The notes section for her also says "She married Gottfried Wilhelm Kranz, b. Fachingen, Germany and had one child."

We have a translation and transcription of a document written in German by Johannetta Schuster Krantz Hankamer Stengler and others, which shows Johanetta and Gottfried Kranz had two children. Here's an excerpt from that document which includes the information from Johannetta:

"On the 10th of ?(Dec) 1827, I gave G.K. my heart and my hand. On the 1st of Jan, 1828, we were married. [This would be marriage of Gottfried Kranz and Johanetta Schuster]"

"On the 25th of Feb. 1829 was born to me my son --------" [name was illegible on the original]

On the 15th of Jan, 1831 my dear ------ died. [unable to read the name for this death.]

On the 21st of Jan, 1831, was born to me my daughter Wilhelmina.

On the 12th of July, 1831, ----------- died, at 7 hours and 8 minutes. [Unable to read this name, but other information known about this family does not include a son born in 1829, so it seems likely one of the two deaths in 1831 refers to the son born in 1829.]

On the 16th of December, 1831 my beloved husband died, --- hours and 10 minutes. [This would be her first husband, Gottfeied Krantz].

I don't include attachments to email's unless requested to do so, but if you'd like a Word file with the transcription of the entire document referenced above, I'd be happy to send it to you.

Best wishes,
