Please correct my translation from the Familienbuch Mettlach und Umgebung by Reinhold Junges. Volume III page -292- 4.538) FOX Margaretha German: 1820 Köchin zu Kolmar/Kolman (?-Kolmen?) English: cook too/to/at offensichtlich eine Verwandte zu obviously one used too/to/at Peter BEREND -1.245i-, denn die that Geburt des folgenden Kindes war Birth of the the following child was (vermutlich) in dessen Behaving, und Probably in its and Margaretha damit sicherlich ein thus surely Abkömmling von 4.512 of/from x) Anna Maria Margareth, *17. 3.1820, Tdf (33/20-0) +30. 4.1820,Tdf (51/20-0) born17 March 1820, Tunsdorf or daughter of died 30 April 1820 This is one of my dead ends: I do know I am looking for a German speaking, Margaretha FOX born about 1820 possibly born in France. Possibly relatives lived in Rettel, France about 1845 according to her childs baptismal record. US census shows she and both her parents were born in France. She was married to Johnn BIWER about 1845, they lived in Borg and Oscholtz before they immigrated about 1874 to the US. Now, I have never found her birth or marrige record. However, I see someone on the internet has her born in Tunsdorf. Someone else showed she was an illegitimate baby. Question: Who died 30 April 1820, the baby or the Mother??? My interpretation: Margaretha Fox, a cook in Kolmar, France was staying with a Susanna FUCHS who was married to Peter BEREND. Birth of the following child, Anna Maria Margaretha born 17 March, 1820 who died 30 April, 1820. Now, if the child died, that certainly would eliminate that Margaretha FOX, and as for her mother, Margareth FOX, would be the wrong age. The Margaretha FOX, I am looking for died March 4, 1895 in South Dakota. Age according to an 1895 newspaper clipping, was " 72 years, 5 months and 3-5 days, and was married 50 years last January". That record said she was born in 1823 in Alsace-Lorraine. Thanks for any assistance. Alice
