Hi,
I'm having computer problems today, so I hope you receive this.My problem in tracing this family line was that, I think, no one understood Ottilia, with most likely a heavy German accent. I have a copy of her cemetery records and they are different.They have her name as Ordelia. The dates are different, too except for the death date and that's the same as what I found. When I found the 1900 New York census report with Anna Harsher, should be Hesher and all her children which were correct and her mother was living with her, I knew I must be on the right track. There, the mother's name was spelled as Otilia Wygant. Georg Adam had died and Anna's husband, William Hesher had died that same year in 1900. Anna had four daughters,Maggie, I knew only as great Aunt Margaret, Minnie, I knew as Great Aunt Mae, Rosie, I knew as Rose Annie, I knew as Anna.Two sons, Fredrich know as Fred, and William.William was my grandfather and Anna my great grandmother. Sorry, I'm going to stop now I'm having very serious computer trouble.If same family, we must becousins- 2nd, 3rd, 4th.I don't know. I have more to say but will write back when I find out what's wrong and fix this problem
