I'm looking for information on Rachel Zoller, my great, great grandmother,
born 1853. I'm not even sure of the spelling of her last name. I have a
photo that says "she was a Zoller" and that she came from a family that did
meat packing in Pittsburgh.
The 1880 census has her married to my great, great grandfather, Wendel Karn,
living in Reserve, Allegheny, PA. they had at least three children-Anna in
1878, Harry (my great grandfather) in 1881 and Mary in 1884. Census
indicated her father was born in Bairen and mother was born in Wurtenburg.
The 1880 census is the only record I can find of her. I can't find anything
prior to 1880, even though I know her last name. I can't find anything in
1900 or afterward. I believe in a subsequent census, Wendel Karn is listed
as a widower.
I would appreciate any information anyone has on Rachel Zoller Karn or on
Wendel Karn.
Thank you,
Michele Young
