Lefflers in Iowa
In researching my husband's grandmother Caroline..I found a obit stating that her parents name where Fred and Katherine Leffler.born Feb. 10, 1876 near Columbus Junction (Iowa)So I went to the Census for 1880 to see if I could find some siblings.I found no lefflers in Louisa county.went into Washington ct.(next county too) and found a F. C. Leffler wife Katherine children Jacob 13, Amanda 12, george 11, maggie 9, henry 2, My husband had mentioned an uncle Jake"and when I mentioned the names he remembered a Georgebut still there was no "Caroline" went back ten years just out of curiosity and found another daughter "lena" I think(its hard to make out) Plus I assume his parents lived nexted door name of henry from wurtenburg as was Merka" (I think) John (26) and Samuel (21) So went back to 1860 found the family was all born in Wurtenberg except Samuel born in Pa Fredric 24, John 16, Samuel 11, Hanahn 20, Sarah 13.Anyone one have any ideas as to what to do?I need to check into probates oh yes in 1900 Kathrine is head of house and raising a granddaughter, Caroline herself married in 1897 (I think that was the year) to Hugh Henry Boyd.I'm thinking she was raised by a fred and Kathrine (don't know if its this one or not but golly two remember names???) I really think its the right family just need to find out why caroline is never in a census. well so much for the ramblings just need guidence in where to look next.and just maybe these names will be of a help to someone.
