The family

No family chart is drawn for this person, and that is a statement about the data rather than about them. This archive records kin against a name — the tree on a name page gathers everyone who shares it, so it may hold one person's dates beside another's wife. Rather than hand a reader a family that might not be this person's, the chart is drawn only where the relationship is recorded person by person, which today means the direct line.

What the archive knows

Born 15 January 1913 at Hollen, Germany — a birth day and a birthplace this archive did not have; it held «1913» off the gravestone and nothing else. Declaration of intention 284221, Brooklyn, 1939, birth country Germany, birthplace as transcribed «Hollen, Germany»; her husband Bruno and their son Richard are on the same paper. She takes the oath of allegiance in 1944, certificate 5742645. Note the place fields are different questions: Millbrook, Dutchess County is where she is buried; Hollen is where she was born. Findmypast, «United States Naturalization Petitions» — final petition and citizenship papers, New York, 1865–1958; index © IRI, used by permission of FamilySearch Intl. Nine Partners Cemetery Not on this family's line, and this archive said otherwise. The row was flagged as the compiler's own kin, which is a claim that a path can be named from this person to David. No path can be. It is a headstone with a shared surname on it, in the American or the Italian-Australian diaspora, and both of those are separate movements from this family's — the diaspora page says so. Left in the archive, where it belongs, and no longer counted as kin. The audit.
