looking for ancestors of MATILDA ERATH born Feb 5, 1838 and died in 1886. Her husband was Sylvester Katzenstein. Both from Wurtenburg, Germany. They came to the U.S. in 1865. They had a daughter named Theresa Katzenstein born 10-3-1870 in Council Bluffs, IA. Any descendents out there who may be able to help me go farther back in Matilda Erath family line? My grandma says that Matilda's father, an Erath was founder of Erath County, Texas.
thanks
