It doesn't offer any clues to any relatives. If the obit for Conrad Linz is 1873 for dod that can't be Josephine's husband b/c I have that he died in 1892 and my grandmother Sarah was born in 1884. He is still on the 1880 census spelled LEnz. On the 1900 census Josephine is a widow and it is spelled Line. I also have the Matrimonial Transfers from the weekly Register 12/3/1873 listing that Conrad Linz to Josephine Kromer had taken out a license to marry. . Conrad is also listed on a page from St. Mary's Cemetery as b. 1851 d. 1893 but Josephine's name isn't listed on that page. Conrad's parents, Ludwig and Rosena Linz, are listed too. I sent for these from RBHayes site. *** I see looking at that site again that there are more listings for Josephine than the one I ordered: 1/23/1919 p. 8 col. 4. Maybe one of the others has more information. Could you check that for me? I think what they have listed for Conrad is what I said above and NOT his obit. *** Whatever you can send to help me figure out Josephine's parents, I will appreciate.
