[Egad! Sorry about the delay in posting
this birth record. Time really DOES go faster the older one
gets. Er, or perhaps it's just procrastination on my part.]Thank you to my sister, LuDene, for finding these documents. I've done the translation myself for all three - it's not perfect, if anyone can provide a better English version, let me know.

Katharina’s sisters’ birth registrations have also been found at the same location. However, her brother, Fred Jr.’s has not. My guess is that the family had moved by the time he was born. (If you want info/scan of the sisters' birth records, let me know.

- Birth registrations - Katharina Margaretha, Johanetta, and Maria Köhler
