I speak very little German, but am expert in reading genealogy records.The parents of Augusta Kloss, are likely Baruch (First Name or Last Name), and Carlina (First Name, and Depp is her (Maiden Name).There were several families in Detroit in 1900 with the Depp surname.What was her father's last name?
I could not find any male German names that began with "B" and ended with an "H", execpt Baruch, in Hebrew Baruwk means "blessed".
Carlina means "free man", is from Carla (Old German), other variants are Carlene, Carol and Caroline (all German female names).
Augusta was married for 15 years, according to the 1900 census, and had 8 children, 6 were living in 1900.Her husband was Gottfried Kloss, and the children were, Martha, Gustar (v), Annie, William, Edward and Walter.William, Edward and Walter were born in Michigan.Everyone else was born n Germany.
Let me know if this helps.
