I do not really understand, what you mean with Elizabeth? Was Elizabeth the Mother of your Maria? Since today I have more infos about Maria Prinz, who was the mother of my grand-father. So: after her marriage she named Maria Lauth, she was born as Maria Prinz, 18th of february 1858, she married my great grand-father Ernst Franz Wilhelm Lauth. She died in Germany on 22th of July, 1919. Her father was (and that is new) Bernhard Johann Prinz (formerly ? Schuhmacher), he was born 28th of nov, 1818, died 29th of april,.1865. He was born in Germany and he married in Germany on 5th of may, 1857. His wife was Auguste Antoinette , born 22th of June, 1835 in Germany, daughter of Ludwig Evers. She died on 13th march, 1878. But she was a widow from Johann Bernhard Prinz, when she died, she named Klein. So when she married my great-grandfather in 1857in Germany, they both must have gone immediately to USA, because Maria was born in Burlington, USA. I would be very happy if I could find out which Burlington it is. (I found five Burlingtons in USA)
