I have a Margaret that is married to a John Oehl, Oevil, Oeil ??  I believe this is my Margaret Kraus from Hesse-Darmstadt but I cannot figure out her husbands last name and therefore can't find death records. Here is what I have: Margaretha Kraus was baptized in Hackenheim, Rheinhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt in 1828.  Her mother was Gertrude Waldeck born in 1793 who married Franciscus Josephus Kraus in 1814.  At some point Gertrude and Margaretha (and Margaret's siblings: Jacobus, Josephus, Martinus ...) came to Cleveland Ohio probably after 1852 and before 1860. I found a possible marriage record from Cleveland for Margaretha Kraus to Johannes Oevil. The 1860 census from Cleveland, Ohio has the family listed as John Oehl age 33 (born Darmstadt) with his wife Margaret age 30, son Edward age 2 and Gertrut Kraus age 70 (who I believe to be Margaret's mother) The 1870 census from Cleveland has the family listed as John Oeil with his wife Margaret, son Edward, Jos Hessmer (who I believe to be Joseph Hassmer, nephew of Margaret and grandson of Gertrude) and Gertrude Krous (Kraus).  I have traced Joseph Hassmer to his death in 1915 and I believe Gertrude Kraus died in 1872- I am waiting to get a copy of the death record.  I cannot figure out what happened to the rest of Margaret's family because I cannot figure out what the correct spelling of the name is.... Can anyone give me any idea of what the possible correct spelling of the name would be. Thanks Dawn
