(1) The marriage record of Rosalia and Hermann Römer says that Rosalia is the daughter of Moises Wind of Radenín and his wife Henriette. But while the profile of Veit Wind (Veit Moises Wind) includes the name "Moises," there is no record of him using that name after formally adopting the name "Veit" in 1787. This is one reason to doubt that Rosalia's father was Veit Wind.
(2) The only known wife of Veit Wind is named "Rösl": there is no record of her being called "Henriette" or anything like it. Further, Rösl was past the age of 50 by the time that Rosalia was born. So it is extremely unlikely that she was Rosalia's mother. If Veit Wind had a second wife, no record of such a wife has come to light.
(3) Veit Wind's *daughter* Henriette married Michael *Rind* and had children with him starting in 1815. If "Moises Wind" is an erroneous recording of "Michael Rind," then Rosalia could have been born to them in 1816 (the year of birth implied by the marriage record). But such a hypothesis, in addition to conflicting with the available data, has no positive support.
(4) The record of marriage of Fritz Römer with Julie Beck (Radenín, 16 Dec 1873) says quite clearly that Fritz is "Sohn des Herrman [sic] Römer und der Rosalia geb. Rind [n.b.] aus Radenin." Thus the record clearly implies that Rosalia Römer's birth surname was "Rind," not "Wind."
(5) Finally, there is a record of birth of a daughter Rosalia to Jonas and Judith Rind on 8 Jul 1818. This date of birth is within two years of the year of birth implied by the marriage record of Rosalia "Wind."
These considerations cumulatively make it overwhelmingly probable that the identification of the parents of Rosalia in her marriage record is erroneous and that is identical with Rosalia, the daughter of Jonas and Judith Rind.
