Apologies if this posts twice. I thought my computer ate it but checking the history for today I got this page back. Rather than risk loosing it again I am sending it on purpose now.

Have not been able to connect Maria Bahls with my family. It looks like Augusta died in July, 1870.

There is also a John Bahls that I am trying to connect but he remains a mystery. His birth doesn't make him likely to be Martin's brother. There are 14 years between their immigrations. If I found the right naturalization paper for son Carl, a John Bahls was a witness. These papers were filed in Illinois and I have no record of Carl living in ILL. unless it could be in those missing years even though it doesn't make sense in a time line. More names to put in my Unknown file.

I've stopped buying documents. I don't have that kind of money. Almost everything I've hunted this hard for has shown up in a serendipity moment late at night.
