In 1920 there was a family with a twelve-year-old daugther named Annie C. (The date of the census reading was 11 Mar 1920, so the age would be about right.) From the 1920 MD Census Garrett County, Election District 3 - Grantsville, dated 11 Mar 1920: Bittinger, Joseph, Head, 40, Born in Maryland, Parents Born in Maryland, Miner in coal mines Bittinger, Eliza J., Wife, 32, Born in Maryland, Parents Born in Maryland Bittinger, James W., Son, 19, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland, Miner in coal mines Bittinger, Flora M., Daughter, 14, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Annie C., Daughter, 12, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Mary J., Daughter, 10, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Ethel P., Daughter, 8, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, August, Son, 5 8/12, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Forest E., Son, 4 1/12, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Isabel, Daughter, 1 6/12, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland I wasn't able to find the family in 1910. However, they do appear in 1930 (without Annie listed): From the 1930 MD Census Garrett County, District 3 - Grantsville, dated 12 May 1930: Bittinger, Joseph H., Head, 59, Age at first marriage: 27 Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland, Laborer at odd jobs Bittinger, Eliza J., Wife, 49, Age at first marriage: 18, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Herman A. (August from 1920?), Son, 16, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland, Farm laborer on general farm Bittinger, George E., Son, 14, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Isabell, Daughter, 11, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, George R., Son, 8, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Gladis M., Daughter, 6, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Bittinger, Gilbert R., Grandson, 4 2/12, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland Fresh, Maud, Roomer, 51, Born in Maryland, Father born in Germany, Mother born in Maryland Bittinger, Mildred (Flora M. from 1920?), Daughter, 25, Born in Maryland, Parents born in Maryland, Teacher in public schools (If you compare the ages of the parents from 1920 to 1930, they are a little off. Probably the 1930 ages are accurate.) There is also an Anna Catherine Bittinger listed in the RootsWeb World Connect Project: Anna Catherine "Annie" Bittinger, Sep 1907 - 9 Mar 1983, parents Joseph Henry Bittinger and Eliza Jane Broadwater (which agrees with the census listing). This line has been well-documented by Marvin Hoover. There were many entries for Bittinger in Garrett County in the various census listings. In fact, there is a section of the county known as Bittinger, as well as a Bittinger Road. You may want to post to the Garrett County, Maryland Board. There have been several postings about the family. The Social Security Death Index does have a listing for an Anna Fazenbaker, DOB: 3 Sep 1907, DOD: Mar 1983, Last Residence: Oakland, Garrett County, MD I hope this information helps. Good luck with your search.
