Today I was able to do a bit of research on my husbands 3x great grandparents, Anton and Barbara Miller. What I found was in the Baptism records of St, Mary's German Catholic Church in Allegheny City PA.
I was looking for a marriage record and Baptism of a daughter Susanna Miller. I did not find their marriage, or Baptism of daughter Susanna. What I did find was located in the Baptism information for their daughter Adelaide Miller. What it listed as Barbara's maiden name (Bosshard/Boshart) and the two cities of Anton (Koblenz, Switzerland) and Barbara (Turbenthal, Switzerland)
Now with the new discoveries my questions are were they married in Switzerland and was Susanna born in Switzerland. Susanna is not in the 1860 census, did she die? I have to check the death registers to see what I can find.
It was a good day in the discover of ancestors. A note of interest was that the name was recorded as Mueller for the birth of all the children, the last being Bertha in 1866. The death recorded for Barbara has her name listed as Miller in 1889.
