Hi Folks, I have not written to the list for quite awhile, but I am struggling with a mystery I am hoping someone might be able to help me with. I am looking for any information that might exist about Emma Holobarich Morowitz DWORSACK. Emma was born on 12 July 1835 in Germany and died on 17 September 1917 in Mt. Olive. She died at the home of her grandson Ermst VIEHWEG. Ernst was the son of Anna MORAWITZ (Anna's daughter) and Ernst Emil VIEHWEG (the son of Gustav K. VIEHWEG and Caroline) who were married 23 May 1886 in Macoupin County. Anna was born 22 August 1867 in Funfkirchen Niederungard, Germany and died 4 Jun 1908 in Mt. Olive. The big question is who were Emma's husband(s). 1900 Macoupin County census (Vol 120 E.D. 64 Sheet 10 Line 59) lists her as Emma DWORSACK who was the mother of 11 children of whom only 1 (Anna) was still alive. She could not speak English and immigrated to the US in 1886 (the same year her daughter married Ernst VIEHWEG). Information from Viehweg family members seem to indicate that her first husband was Franz MORAWITZ and her maiden name was HOLOBARICH. However, her death certificate has no information about her husband(s) but lists her father as "E. MOROWITZ". This makes little sense since her daughter's maiden name was MOROWITZ. But this certainly adds to the confusion. As a DWORSACK researcher I am most interested in how she became a DWORSACK and if she is related to the DWORSACK family of Mt. Olive -- since this is the only DWORSACK (this spelling) family I have found in the US it seems highly likely. I wonder if it could have been Wenzel DWORSACK who is the progenitor of this particular family. Becker & Son Funeral Home provided her funeral so I am writing them for any records, but I thought I would also try on the listserv. Any help would be appreciated. Since I have not written in awhile, I thought I would also list the surnames I am working on in Macoupin County and surrounding areas: TITSWORTH, MAY, GUNN, DWORSACK, SCHELLER, GUENTHER, BAUER and other associated surnames including KEISER, LANG, ROEHL, EISSMANN, RINK, REUTER, etc. Thanks again Matt Weismantel
