That is where the different named mother first showed up and she is in one census only. I am thinking if I found brothers and sisters for Maria maybe that would reaffirm who her parents were or at least there would be more proof. That is why a birth record would be so helpful, I have worked on this for about 5 years now off and on. thanks for your ideas and I will check on siblings that could be in your list.
