Clara's siblings were Frank(1873-1957), Jay(1869-1952), and Rose(1876-1962). Their parents were George Jacob Balduff(1842-1928) and Rosine Barbara Raeder(1849-1929). George Jacob was known as Jacob and his death certificate lists his parents as Frank Balduff and ___ Schiffer. The siblings of your George Sr. (1865-1955) were Edward(1869-1945), Charles(1871-1950), and Frederick(1880-1936). Their parents were Christopher L. Balduff(1842-1917) and Elizabeth Keller(1844-1922). Christopher's parents were Jacob Balduff (1813-1892) and Frederica Rohrbacker(1811-1882). Jacob, Frederica, and Christopher all came to America on the Silvie De Grasse in 1846 along with a Joseph Balduff (1820-1900) and 3 siblings of Christopher's (one dying on the ship). In America Jacob and Frederica had five more children. One of them was named Jacob and I used to believe that was Clara's father, until I found his death certificate and the ship log. So now I do not know how Clara's family is related to George and Nettie's family. Frank (Clara's grandfather) could be Joseph's son but I have not found any proof of that. With pictures of Frederick (George Sr.'s brother) and Frank (Clara's brother) together in a buggy and at the family house I imagine they are related, but I have not found the link yet.
