I have an ancestor who I have been unable to trace as of yet. She was born ca 1820, married Jacob Conrad before 1841, and died in 1869 in Michigan where they had moved from Cattaragus Co. sometime between 1855 and 1860. Her death certificate has her maiden name as Boise, and that is the only hint I have as to where to look for her.

The information in it was new to me. My sister's mother-in-law is a Machias, NY Steffenhagen. We did not have the parents or birth information on Anna Elizabeth. So this is great info. Please let me know about the source. Here is a census notes on Anna Elizabeth and her husband Frederick: 1880 CENSUS, NY, Cattaraugus Co, Machias: Steffenhagen, Frederick is listed as 44 years old and living with his wife and children. As he is about the same age as Theodore and John, I assume he is their brother. Wife Elizabeth is 42.
