Betty Krull,
Thank you for your reply.
No, I am not certain about the birth years. I have 2 Feb 1830 for Helena
based on her obituary, Marriage Licenses, and US Censuses. The 1829 for Herman
is based on Censuses, Marriage License, and Probate record. I know all of
these are secondary sources but they are consistent. I have not found a record
of their immigration and suspect that they did not become US Citizens. A
family legend says that they immigrated thru New Orleans.
