Hello,
I have been searching for Marie Mathes for many years now. All I know is
that she was alive in 1942 and lived in South Bend, according to her
brother's obituary. I have used
ancestry.com,
genealogy.com, and rootsweb
during this search, but I don't know if I overlooked her in any of these
sources. I am now going through page by page of the 1930 census, and I have
still not found her. I believe my biggest problem is variety of ways of
spelling the surname.
If there is anyone on the list who has access to any source that could help
me locate her, I would really appreciate any help that is offered, or if
there is anyone who is researching this family, I'd love to hear from you.
Here are the facts that I know.
Marie Mathes
Catholic
alive in Jan of 1942
parents were Peter and Elizabeth Erger
maiden name Erger
born in Weißkirchen (I have found it listed as Hungary, Germany, and
Yugoslavia in the various census records for other family members.)
lived in South bend in 1942
brother was born in 1863, so I would guess her to be about the same age.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Coleen
