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
