Thanks Werner,
That is a good point! If searching here in the USA, try Kampe first.
Helena Anna died in Germany. She did not have children.
So from the German point of view, could you suggest how I should list
the surname for Helena Anna in my database.
I can list multiple names for her.
I would like to be more accurate with the primary name for her &/or
this record.
She was the first wife of one of my German ancestor. Married in Essen
i/O in 1772.
My direct ancestor was his second wife.
If it would help to see the record, I posted it online
at [1]http://familyandtrees.com/grote1772/
It is the last record on the page.
Thank you very much!
