Natalia was born ca. 1830 in Canada and was on this census with daughter Susan (born ca. 1856, Michigan) and young Josephine (born 1858, Michigan). This family is next to Frank and Matilda BURGART (Beauregard?) on the census. Frank is age 22 (born 1848) Canada and wife Matilda is age 17 (born 1853) Michigan. This census indicated that Matilda worked in a sash factory. My thought is that Matilda was Josephine's sister and Frank was John Beauregard's brother, but I need to find proof of this. The Goshier surname may be some form of "Gauthier." Josephine's name in many records was spelled Gautier/Gauchet/Gockey/Gauchy/Gochey/Goscha. Thank you so much for your message.
