I am searching for information about my g-grandmother, Katherina Burst/Boerst, who eventually moved to Brown County, Ohio and married my great-gramdfather, Frederick Theodor Arbogast. Katherine was born 21 May 1745 and her father was allegedly Jacob Burst/Boerst. Just two days ago, someone thinkg she found my Katherine listed in 1860 Brown County census as "Catherine Birst" in a sort of boarding house in Arnheim Village there. The family she lived with was Ludwig Braun and wife Franziska Lechner Braun. It said she was from Pennsylvania. Naturally, no one knows where! I always thought that Katherine was Catholic, but the first record of her living in Ripley (Brown County) before her marriage occurs when she is baptismal sponsor for Katherine Roemer, d. of Valentine Roemer & Christine Linn in 1868 in a Lutheran Church. Katherine was reported (by my father) to have been an indentured servant and illiterate. If anyone sees anything in this mess resembling a lead, please enlighten me. I am out of ideas for Ketherine Boerst/Burst! Thanks, Buffy
