...Thanks,Randy, for the Saturday Night assignment! <br />1. Great grandmother Mary Hodges was born in 1841; dividing 1841 by 125 and rounding up is 15, like yours, Randy.<br />2. I don't quite understand "ahnentafel" but #15 on my Family Tree chart is another great grandmother, Anna Youngreen Kietzman. Anna was born 1n 1859 in Canada to George and Louisa Pries Youngreen, and died on June 20, (the date would become my birthday five years later, in 1943) in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1938. Anna married Carl Friedreich Wilhelm "William" Kietzman on March 14, 1880.<br />3. Five facts:<br /> • Anna and William owned a shoe store in Topeka, Kansas, located near the current location of the State Capitol Building. <br /> • Anna was widowed in 1901 when her three children were 19 (Harry William), 13 (Alma), and 10. The 10-year old is my grandmother, Wilhelmina.<br /> • Anna was "Head of the Family" in the 1910 Census. Harry worked in the shoe, and now clothing, store. <br /> • Anna lived with Wilhelmina "Minnie" and her family after Minnie married Homer Shelden in 1914. <br /> • My mother, Minnie's oldest daughter, remembers her "Old German Grandmother Kietzman" as being "very thrifty." Her motto: Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, Do without. (Worth considering!)<br />On Aug 11, 2013, at 1:04 AM, Genea-Musings wrote:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-71385567344264207882013-08-11T15:30:59.988-07:002013-08-11T15:30:59.988-07:00I chose my maternal great-grandmother, Gentel Juli...I chose my maternal great-grandmother, Gentel Julia (Doyle) Mayer Brooks, born in 1885. My roulette number, therefore, was 15.08, rounded up to 15. Number 15 on my pedigree chart is my maternal great-grandmother! Five facts about her:<br /><br />1. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.<br />2. She played piano in a dance hall.<br />3. She was Catholic.<br />4. She had seven children.<br />5. She was the youngest sibling in her family.<br /><br />Great fun!mandorachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887103092652120831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-86580329620963367792013-08-10T21:14:58.432-07:002013-08-10T21:14:58.432-07:00Great challenge, Randy.

She was born ...Number 15 is Mary Elizabeth Manhart. She was born in 1857 in Pennsylvania. Her parents were George H. Manhart and Anna A. Seasholtz. (The name was originally Su(umaut)ssholtz. When it gets to Pennsylvania it is spelled more ways than you can imagine. <br />1. I have never been able to find the family in the 1860 census. <br />2. Her death was very hard to find because she married Jefferson Shock. When you search for the death of “Mary Shock” you find an enormous number of people named Mary whose families and friends were shocked at their demise. She died in Janesville, Wisconsin, was buried in Appleton, Wisconsin, but I found the notice in a paper in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, while looking for something else.<br />3. She was Pennsylvania Dutch and made very good scrapple. My mother remembered it and was delighted when I found a restaurant in Ohio that served it. (They called it krepples.) She mentioned eating it in her grandmother’s kitchen. Unfortunately I didn’t think to ask where that kitchen was. I still eat scrapple whenever I can find it but since that only happens about every five years I don’t think it will hurt me.<br />Dandelionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314680366367058162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-65058130332748648442013-08-10T15:06:33.142-07:002013-08-10T15:06:33.142-07:00Love your SNGF, Randy!
