Downside of Being Family Historian
Ás veces, cando está buscando a historia da familia, recibe un choque desagradable. Eu estaba buscando meu padrasto Ernest C. Historia da familia de Díaz na Biblioteca do Congreso de base de datos. Papá non sabía moito sobre as Moellenburgs, entón eu estou tentando atopar máis información sobre eles. Aínda o descubrimento foi significativa, Tamén foi un pouco deprimente. Tía do meu pai Annie Moellenburg morreu 6 meses de idade en agosto 1903.
Non sei a data exacta de nacemento ou morte Annie. Annie nacería en xaneiro ou febreiro 1903. Ela morreu en agosto, antes de agosto 13, 1903. Aviso enterro de Annie foi impreso o xoves, Agosto 13, 1903, of the St. Louis Galicia. Annie morreron de cólera infantil. Traxicamente, súa nai Adele Moellenburg nee Barman morrería en 1904.
Diaz Siblings – Adele, Pai, Rita, Quentin and Marie
The Moellenburgs lived at 7825 Pennsylvania Avenue at the time of Annie’s death. The Moellenburg family emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1895. Dad’s mother Marie Moellenburg would be born in 1896 to John and Adele Moellenburg. Annie was Marie’s younger sister.
While Annie died long before Dad or I were ever born, it was sad to see such a young life lost. John Moellenburg would suffer two significant losses in a brief time. You cannot help but empathize with what he went through. It is easier to write about family members that you did not know. Porén, when you discover that a child died so young and what it meant to the family, it is tragic.
I have discovered children who died young and were not originally in the family records. Xenealoxía e historia afrontan os mesmos retos. Se alguén non gravala, we lose the history within a generation or two. Descanse en paz, little Annie.
