And, along those lines, I guess I should be grateful that Rose provided the true name of her mother for her burial, rather than the "Anna Kraus" that she supplied to every census enumerator--as well as the newspaper reporter.<br /><br />Still...this has got my curiosity piqued.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-77320293695902336342015-06-15T13:58:52.490-07:002015-06-15T13:58:52.490-07:00Sometimes, Wendy, I think that "not knowing&q...Sometimes, Wendy, I think that "not knowing" such names is really a cover for a much more revealing story. Or am I reading too much into such instances? Ideas like disowned sons and disapproved marriages dance in my head when I run across examples like the one you provided.
