They were both born in Germany, and came to Minnesota about 1905 (from what we can tell from census reports of Jeanette). Their daughter, Jeanette, is my husband's great-grandmother. I have approximate birth years of 1868 for the parents. They may have died in Blue Earth County, as that is where Jeanette settled with her husband Claus Kaduce. I'm hopeful that information may exist in the county, perhaps on Jeanette's marriage certificate or on an obituary. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone can assist I would certainly appreciate it! Jeanette's dates are 3 Oct 1893 (Germany) - 30 May 1963 (Blue Earth County). She and Claus Kaduce were most likely married prior to the birth of their first child in 1914. Thanks so much in advance for any help! Sandi in Wisconsin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
