[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Neche, ND and Gretna, MB

[Wilma Schultz]

Hi Al, My great great grandmother lived in Neche and died in Dresden, ND.  Her name was Henrietta Wolter(s) nee Sommerfeld.  She remarried in 1908 to Wilhelm Leo Westphal. I have been very frustrated with this line. You name it I have tried it when it comes to researching this line.  Apparently she is burried in what used to be called Bearwagen Cemetary, now known as Immanuel Cemetary.  I even tracked down the people who manage the cemetary , and I am assuming they never found any records, as I was told they would call back only if they found something.  They never called.  I can't find any death documents for her either.  It's like she never was. I have found her on the 1910 US census- but no death records.
Wilma.
