Eleanor:
How interesting to read your correspondence with a Rohlfes from Germany!My family information shows that Edward Rohlfes' mother was Louisa Wilnski, born October 17 1882, died April 2, 1914.The census records show that she was a neighbor of the Rohlfes in Schiller Park, and quite a bit younger than Herman.My maternal grandfather was Robert Rohlfes, and my mom grew up in Schiller Park.I believe I also have a copy of the cemetery information on Herman and Louisa.
Where did you see the handwritten information?Also, where did you get the stepdaughter info - I heard this from my mother, so verification from another source is welcome.
