Question Re: Death record for Viktoria nee Schratzenstatter Weichselbaumer
Hello,
I am having difficulty locating Viktoria Weichselbaumer's death record and would love your advice on where to continue my search. My search for a death record has been limited because records have not been scanned beyond a certain date in the areas I need to look. Could the records be in another parish(es)? Thank you for your help!
It has always been thought that Viktoria died before Joseph, her husband, and Anna, their daughter immigrated to the United States in August 1898. They immigrated without Viktoria. There is no proof that Viktoria died before Anna and Joseph immigrated. Just a side note: Joseph and Viktoria didn't have any other children.
My search has focused on death records from 1877 (Anna's birth) through 1898 (immigration) in Lechhausen (last residence before immigration), Schrobenhausen and Abtismuhl in Kuhbach. In all cases, I didn't find a record and the records do not go beyond 1897.
All of the records below have been translated. I am attaching the links if you need them.
History:
1.Viktoria was born June 16, 1855, in Abtismuhl, Kuhbach, Augsburg, Bavaria. The records stopped in 1881 even though the baptism book says the records end in 1897. I reviewed the records from 1877 to 1881 and didn't find anything and I didn't really expect to.
2. Viktoria married Joseph Weichselbaumer on February 6, 1877 in Altenfurt, Schrobenhausen, Bavaria. I didn't find any death records from 1877 to 1896 (records stopped) in Schrobenhausen.
3. Viktoria and Joseph's daughter Anna Weichselbaumer was born November 18, 1877, in Altenfurt. As above, I searched for a death record in Schrobenhausen.
4. Joseph and Anna immigrated to the US in August 1898. The place of last residence was Lechhausen, Augsburg. The death records end in 1879. I didn't find a death record from 1877 to 1879.
