    \nHere\u2019s mine (those in bold<\/strong> are direct line ancestors):<\/p>\n

    Third great-grandmother, Amelia<\/strong> (a.k.a. Emilie), was living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois in 1910, with her son Heinrich \u201cHenry\u201d (my second great-granduncle) and his family.\u00a0 Amelia is a mystery to me; she was married to a WACH and had three children.\u00a0 She then married a SCHULTZ and had one daughter.\u00a0 I have no idea what her maiden name is or the first names (and fates) of her two husbands.<\/p>\n

    Another mystery woman, my third great-grandmother, Bridget Ward<\/strong>, was living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois in 1910 with two daughters, Sarah<\/strong> and Rose, and Sarah\u2019s husband Timothy McMAHON<\/strong>.\u00a0 Again, I have no idea what Bridget\u2019s maiden name is, or the first name of her husband.\u00a0 I am not able to find her after 1910 in censuses or death records.<\/p>\n

    My second great-grandmother, Mary (or Anna or Marie) BRAUN Stoffel<\/strong>, was living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois with her seven children:\u00a0 Henry C, Anna E<\/strong>, Margaret, Charles L, Elsie A, William, and George.<\/p>\n

    Thomas Robert CAHILL<\/strong>, my second great-grandfather, was living in Aurora, Kane, Illinois in 1910 with his wife, Margaret \u201cMaggie\u201d MILLETT<\/strong> and four of his six children, Margaret, Thomas Michael, John F<\/strong>, Robert Emmett.<\/p>\n

    My second great-grandfather, James Manly GARRISON<\/strong>, was living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois in 1909, when he died on 23 May 1909.\u00a0 His wife, Sarah Jane \u201cJeanie\u201d MULLIGAN<\/strong> was living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois in 1910 with her four children, James Norton, Joseph Webster, Emma Jane<\/strong>, and Robert Parks.<\/p>\n

    My second great-grandparents, Herman LEPPIN<\/strong> and Minnie HAEMFIFLER,<\/strong> were living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois in 1910 with their four children, Alma Mary<\/strong>, Henry August, Herman Paul, and Charles F.<\/p>\n

    My third great-grandparents, Timothy McMAHON<\/strong> and Margaret RYAN<\/strong>, were living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois in 1910 with four of their five children, John Joseph, Nellie, Jerimiah William, and Elizabeth V.\u00a0\u00a0 Margaret\u2019s grandson (through her daughter from another marriage), Francis J, was also living with them in 1910.<\/p>\n

    Emil Charles MILLER<\/strong>, my great-grandfather, was likely living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois in 1910, but I have yet to find him in the census.<\/p>\n

    My great-grandfather, George ROTTMAN<\/strong>, also eludes me in the 1910 census, but he was likely living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois.<\/p>\n

    My second great-grandparents, John SCHWARTZ<\/strong> and Margaret KRAMER<\/strong> were living in Aurora, Kane, Illinois in 1910 with their six children, Henry Ferdinand, John J, Catherine M<\/strong>, Mary J, Theresa K, and Herman J.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
