Comments
Initially, the parents of Johanna Christina Kratsch were not known and it was thought that maybe Johanna was a sister of Justine Kratsch. However on further research, Johanne’s parents were determined and they were not the same as those of Justine.
Future Research
As yet, no relationship connection has been found for Peter and Dale. From the research so far, there is no connection through 2nd and 3rd great-grandparents. The thinking is now that there are multiple connecting ancestor relationships. However, to explore these relationships will require obtaining records from before 1809.
