I'm following up on an old message from manager Craig Conrad. I did a (valid) merge on Maria Eva, which had conflicting parents. I cut off the "new" parent, prompting Craig to inquire about her parents, since his information indicates otherwise. I suggested we start a discussion, but apparently that hasn't happened until now.
Craig's information indicates her father is Martin Kocherberger
Here is the information from Craig:
I got the Martin information from a series of published articles written by Rev. Garford Williams, a prolific historian in Susquehanna County, PA. We became friends and, years before his death, he turned over his articles and *some* notes for me to "own". Not that I was deserving of it, nor that I've kept it up well, but I did transcribe the articles into a PDF. I would be very happy to send you the PDF, but I don't know how to do that on this site. If you email me (CraigJConrad@gmail.com), I would reply with a copy of the articles. The following is from page 3 of those articles:
"William Conrad and Eve Kochersberger were married in Philadelphia, on February 13, 1788 (page 2176 of the transcribed records). The original gives his name as Wilhelm Coonrod and hers as Eve Kochenberger. She was a daughter of Martin Kochersberger, who in 1790 was living in Northern Liberties Township, County of Philadelphia; the census gives nine in his family, probably himself, wife, four sons and three daughters. He is the only person in the entire Commonwealth in 1790 with that surname"
Does anyone have documentation for the parents she's currently with? Any information for Martin as her father?
