Tag Archives: Family: Kremer

First, a BIG thank you to two wonderful people who took the time to transcribe and translate the birth record I found for my second great-grandmother.  You can read more about the record and see the transcription and translation in the comments in my post Can Anyone Translate?.  Thanks again to Genealady and Ralph for their efforts!

So Margaret Kramer (aka Margaretha Kremer) really was born on 31 October 1866 in Consdorf, Echternach, Luxembourg.  Seventy-eight years after her birth, her son reported the correct birth date for her death certificate.  The other information he provided was also correct, as far as what Margaret herself provided for her marriage license in 1888.  Her birth date, place, and father have now been confirmed by a birth record I just located on FamilySearch (Luxembourg Civil Registration, 1793-1923 > Consdorf > Baptêmes 1790-1793 — CONSDORF: Naissances 1798-1880).

This week’s challenge from Randy is: List your 16 great-great-grandparents with their birth, death and marriage data (dates and places). Determine the countries (or states) that these ancestors lived in at their birth and at their death. For extra credit, go make a “Heritage Pie” chart for the country of origin (birth place) for these 16 ancestors. [Hint: you could use the  chart generator from Kid Zone for this.] [Note: Thank you to Sheri Fenley for the “Heritage Pie” chart idea.] Tell us about it in your own blog post, […]
