When I first started this hobby back in 1964 I was told that my grandfather had a sister and when she was born the mother died. Well you can imagine my surprise when I found the 1880 Census which read as follows; SCHAEFER, LOUIS (great grandfather) Catherine wife (still living) William (my grandfather) Catherine 4 yrs old Maierhofer, Louise 19 (servant) and also 2nd wife SCHAEFER, Elizabeth 4 yrs old. To this day I have not found Catherine SCHAEFER, no marriage, no divorce, no burial where Louis is, no burial where her parents are. Interesting? Barbara Rector Hill
