"Mary Clara" to be specific. My Mary Clara Bruggeman (b 7 Feb 1848) in Pittsburgh, PA, had siblings: Philomena Susanna (1850), Caterina Margareta (1849), Maria Elizabeth (1852), Alphons John (1857) and twin girls (1859) who did not survive, one possibly named Anna - all born in Pittsburgh, PA area. I am the gg-granddaughter of Philomena Susanna ("Susan") Bruggerman Meixner. (Some siblings have the "r" and some don't.) Their parents were Christoph Heinrick Brukeman (1821, Osterappel, Germ) and Maria Catherina Knobleid/Knoblauch (1822, Hess, Germ). Christoph's parents were Gerhard Brukeman and Anna Mary (Meyer?)
