My gg grandmother's death certificate in 1913 had her maiden on it, but it was listed as part of her name not a separate question. It read Eliza Beardsley Miller. I know at some point in transcribing and reading the Washington Post I have seen a reference to a German Society in DC. At the time, I meant to save it...might have..but don't know where at the moment. My Becker's and Steiner's in early DC were both from Germany.

If you know the area she lived or where she was buried you could try the cemetery records or the church records. The German churches kept wonderful records and I am constantly surprised at what can be found there - at least in the Maryland German Churches.

one of the popular German cemeteries was prospect hill located on Lincoln road N.E. next to the Glenwood cemetery. Glenwood now has the records for prospect hill cemetery. The people at Glenwood are very helpful. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan McIntyre" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 5:27 PM Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] German newspaper > If you know the area she lived or where she was buried you could try the > cemetery records or the church records.
