It's hard to say. As I look at the database I carry around on my Palm computer, I see the Baby Girl you mean, but once again I'm again frustrated by the fact that the only source for this information is the notes that my grandfather and g-granduncle took during their visit with the K.C. clan. I've written again to the K.C. Schwitzgebel who responded to a letter some months ago, asking him to put me in touch with the relative he says has the information for their family, but he has failed to respond to two subsequent e-mails. I also find it ironic that *you* have put in yeoman's service to this branch, yet none of the three descendants who set me off looking at it again seems at all interested in corresponding about what you and I have found for them. But I digress. =) The birth announcement is an interesting twist. When I found Josephine's death record a couple months ago and saw the cause of death, I had assumed the puerperal eclampsia set in much closer on the heels of the childbirth and that the baby didn't survive. It's now obvious that the child survived for at least a couple days and possibly longer. I'll be keeping an eye out for references to Schwitzgebel women that I haven't been able to connect to anyone, previously. Having the birth date should make her easy to spot, if I stumble across her. -- Mike | "Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit." -Carl Jung

Mike, the Baby Girl Schwitzgebel you show b. & d. on 22 Apr 1893: should this be changed to born 26 May 1897 or should another baby girl be added? I looked every day for about a week after May 26, looking for the death of the baby but so far did not find it.
