Thanks Don. I would assume the name may be in reality Marquardt, but it was spelled without that second r on the death certificate. And they were supposed to have been Prussian, so it does make sense. My Gr-grandparents, and grandfather came over in 1888. My grandfather wasn't from Windsor, but he and my grandmother got married there for some reason, instead of in Detroit where they both lived. I'm lucky I found that marriage certificate.....I never would have thought to look for it there, but found it on Ancestry when I did a search for their surnames. Thanks again!
