During the past 15 or so years, I have been able to find that she married Thomas EGE in Sandusky, Erie, Ohio on August 21, 1869. I do have their marriage certificate, but was not able to obtain any application information. I have obtained some information on the birth records and baptisms of their children while they lived in Sandusky township. They attended St. Mary's Catholic Church. I have not been able to find any Citizenship applications on Amelia but did find Thomas Ege's in Sandusky. Strangely, they are not listed in the 1870 census records. I would greatly appreciate any help in discovering any parents or siblings of Amelia "Emilie" Maier/Meyer, etc., and if she had any other records in Erie, Ohio. I live in Alabama and have had a very difficult time finding what information I do have. Below is additional info that I have on this family. Thanks so much! Connie Ege Rayon AMELIA "Emilie" MAIER was born October 28, 1843 in Baden, Germany, and died May 15, 1915 in Cullman Co, Alabama. She married THOMAS EGE August 21, 1869 in Sandusky, Erie, Ohio. He was born December 21, 1837 in Wuerttemburg, Germany, and died February 26, 1924 in Cullman Co, Alabama.
