I have seen some of your other posts on the internet. Jack Boyce, son of Katherine Frances Eisenman, dau of Charles Eisenman, son of Mary Elisabeth Ramstetter, dau of Lorenz. I have recently retired and have some time to pursue. I am making some assumptions. I find Balthasar in the 1860 Census but not 1870 and thus he and Sophie likely die in that decade. Lorenz dies March 22, 1878 and is likely buried in the same plot. I am going to Poughkeepsie in December and will access the Poughkeepsie newspapers microfilm to find Lorenz's obit with the hope it tells where he is buried. And if (BIG IF), he is in the same plot, we find Balthasar also. Question on Elizabeth Ramstetter Meyer: She lives with Balthasar, Sophie, and Lorenz for the 1860 Census. Where was she in the 1870 Census and how/why leave Poughkeepsie in her teenage years? Jack Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
