<p>she was godmother to Maria Christina's daughter Katharina Louisa Henrietta Volberg.<br>I have no direct record that this is the correct genealogy. I found this marriage by working backward from Aunt Mary Schaffner and Cousin Laura Schaffner, whom Edna Volberg knew in Atlanta. it became clear that "Aunt Mary" was really a cousin -- older cousins were often called Aunt in the South. I also knew Grosspapa had had family in New York when he arrived -- this aunt was clearly the right person.<br> <br>1880 Brooklyn, district 223 (King?s)<br># 95 Fifth Avenue<br>Henry L.
