Seems to be biological very seldom. Even a mother gets rare children with 53 years. Oops. I must have described that wrong. Gusti is the daughter of Maria Elizabeth's brother, name unknown. 2) "Gusti" is the affectionate form of "August" (male), may be very rarely used special in this aerea of Germany, seldom female. I found several references to "Auguste" as a female name, so that might be it. While I don't know the area very well, I have a birth certificate of Marie Elizabeth's daughter, Wilhelmina Botefuhr, which bears a stamp with the word "Altona" in it. That might be where they are from. Thank you for the pointers!
