Hello again,

I also found obits for Conrad and Ida (Edith). I also found an obit for Mrs. Jacob Maurer, who may have been a sister to Conrad. Her obit mentions a surviving brother, Conrad Blanc, in Henry, Switzerland. This was in 1942, after Ida died. Could Conrad have gone back for a visit in Switzerland when Mrs. Jacob (Barbara) Maurer died?
Jacob Maurer & Barbara Blank (Indexed as Blaak), were married in Dane County in 1896. If Barbara was a sister to Conrad, then obtaining her marriage record may give clues to their parents. Jacob and Barbara were living in Brooklyn Town, Green County, Wisconsin during the 1900 census, then living in Verona after that.

Hope this helps, RP
