My grandmother and her sisters were orphaned in 1896 when their mother died. Mary (Mamie) was the oldest, then Anna Theresa (Tessie), then my grandmother Elisa (Eliza or Elsie) born in 1894 and then the baby Marie born in 1895. Their father's name was John L. Burger and he remarried in 1897 to a Louise Kline. They lived in Newark. Rumor has it that some or all of the girls were either farmed out to relatives or put in an orphanage. I suspect that the 2 older girls were put in orphanages. Can SKS look at the 1900 census for me to see where these 4 girls were. They could have been with a family named Sachs or Sacks who were their mother's sisters and brothers. Thanks for any help.
