Person talk:Maggie Kroel (1)

Existence [23 January 2014]

Was there a separate person named Maggie Kroel, or is that just another name for Grietje Zijlstra?

Note that Grietje died in 1897, and Heine was still widowed at the 1900 census. He married Trijntje van der Berg in 1906, so Kroel must have married him and then died all within 1900-1906.

There is a Margaret Kroel in Milwaukee, WI in the 1860 census, perhaps with her mother Johannah born about 1810.

"United States Census, 1860," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MW9W-FYC : accessed 23 Jan 2014), Margaret Kroel in entry for John Kroel, 1860.

Her apparent siblings (all born in Holland) are:

• John, abt 1834
• William, abt 1838
• Rica, abt 1836
• Margaret, abt 1837
• Johannah, abt 1810 [mother?]

FWIW, John Kroel married Sophia Feldman in Rock Island County, IL (on the IA border) 7 Jan 1865.
