Thank you for the information. I agree that the evidence is very good that (our) Rudolph is the son of Christian, but it would be nice to have something to really confirm it.
>Do you know where Agnes was born, and her parents names?
Yes, Agnes was born in Burlington (according to the marriage certificate) in Wisconsin (according to the California Death Index, 1940-1997). Her parents names were Edward Richter and Carolina Grothkopk. Her birthdate was October 26, 1870.
>I'm not sure what you're looking for. A genealogist? A descendant?
I was thinking you might know of a descendant other than yourself who lives in Wisconsin. Do you live in Wisconsin or anywhere near there? If you come up with any other information that would be helpful, I would appreciate it. Ann
