Could anyone help me with this problem. I believe this Peter Bertram is the son of John Bertram and Martina Heim Haid, widow of Valentine Haid. Peter was born about April 1840. Elizabeth was born about July 21, 1842, daughter of William Baker and Christina Helfreit. She married Peter Bertram on November 15, 1842 at St. Benedict's in Carrolltown. I came across a second Peter Bertram marrried to an Ellizabeth Baker. I think this is a second set of people. Can anyone help me? Can anyone go back to grandparents? Marilyn Kline Washington
