Re: Josephine Erhard-my Mat.'l G-grandmom

Adrienne,
According to Births reported in 1898 in the Borough of Brooklyn.... Josephine E. Ehrhard was born April 17, 1898. Certificate number: 5604Notice the spelling of the last name...
In the 1900 Federal Census John (age 25) and Ella (age 22) Ehrhard lived on Gates Ave. Brooklyn, NY in Kings County.John Ehrhard was born in NY Feb.1875. Ella Metler Ehrhard was born March 1878 in NY. In 1900 they had been married for 3 years.
John Ehrhard's parents were born in Germany. Ella Metler Ehrhard's parents were born in NY. At the time of the 1900 Census John and Ella Ehrhard had 2 children, daughters....Josephine(age 2) born April 1898 and Anetta(age 2 months) born March 1900.
All spelling of names are taken directly from the Census and Birth records.
In the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Census Josephine's mother's name is written ELLA....there is a reason I am stressing this and I will share more about that soon.
