Email me directly at: [email protected] And I'll see if we can do this the easy way. Names changing.....An Irishman listening to an German Accent, lousy handwriting, bad transcriptions. As they would say in the King and I......etc., etc., etc. Any and all of the above. Her name probably was either a German name which she quit using or she maybe went by a middle name. A lot of people "Angelicized" their names. His name.....I would guess by looking at what I saw was probably "Gottlieb" (spelling?). Anyway....email me direct.....I hate this new system.
