Person:Julia Bernhardt (1)

The IGI has a Juliana Bernhardt, b. 29 Dec 1841; christened 2 Jan 1842, dau of Joh. Conrad Bernhardt and Maria Philippina Wohnsiedler, in Eisenberg, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany (batch 7628120).

    Batch 7621621 indicates that Joh. Conrad married Maria Philippina on 15 May 1821 in Eisenberg

1860 census, ward 14, image 45 on genealogy.com: Julia A. Bernhart, 18 (which would make her birth year 1842, which jives with most other records about her), servant to the Bloom Family, born Bavaria

Cincinnati City directory for 1864 & 1869 indicates a Julia Bernhart, servant, at 250 Elm Street.

From the 1860 census, a possible family for this Julia might be Peter Bernhard, 48, shoemaker, born Bavaria living in the 10th ward (image 227) with wife Eliza(?), 43, born Hesse-Darmstadt, and Jno? (m), 22, born Bavaria. Similarly, a possible brother, Jos. Bernhardt, 24, bar keeper, born Bavaria is living in ward 10 (image 156).

(NOTE: A Bernhardt family is living with the GUENTHNERs in 1920 on 616 Conroy)

Subsequent data: Don Guenther (no relation to Gail GUENTHNER's line) is researching a John/Johann Bernhardt, contemporary of Julia, also in Cincinnati. John married a Louise Wollenweber and they had a daughter Isabella, b. 1878/1880.

She must have emigrated/arrived after the 1850 census was taken as she's not Cincinnati then, nor in NYC.
