John Walch and wife Christiana Reich--Baden
I am looking for information on the parents of two Walch sisters who immigrated to the United States about 1888. Census records indicate they were born in Baden. Ernestine, who married Richard Wolf and lived in Galveston TX, was born Feb 1872.Her sister Caroline, born abt. 1873,married Eugene Hatch in Rochester NY. Ernestine's death certificate says her father was John Walch; Caroline's marriage license includes her mother's name as Caroline Reich.
I have found no sign of their parents in census records, and I cannot figure out how the two became so widely separated by their marriages in the 1890s. Any help appreciated!
