She is in the 1870 US Census and her birthplace is listed as Wurtumburg (Württemberg). I looked up your Annie Ellen Wanner Auman and found her in 1930, 1920 and 1900 US Census. Each time her mother is listed as born in Pennsylvania. It doesn't appear that the Margaret in the Sailer household is the mother of your Annie. I don't find any other Margarets, Maggies, Mollies or Mollys in 1870 or 1880 US Census. It's possible that she went by her middle name or Margaret was her middle name. She and her parents could be following the 4th or 11th commandment. http://www.bitler.org/humor/index.htm Rich Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
