    The (-2G), etc., after the names indicates the number of generations before Erven Thoma.

    She was born in Austria. I have yet to discover her parents' names, Catherine's exact birth and death dates and places, and Catherine's marriage place and date. I do not know about her siblings, if any.

    Her son Andrew was born on 02 May 1902 in Hungary.

    Her husband, and perhaps she immigrated on 17 June 1907.

    Her daughter Johanna was born on 21 Dec. 1909 in St. Louis.

    Her son Andrew immigrated in 1911.

    In the 1935 St. Louis Directory we see Johanna B. Kristmann, prsfdr Ralston Purina Co., r 4400 S. Broadway. At the same address we find John Kristmann, barber, and Catherine, who are her parents.

    We find the marriage (May 1937) records for her daughter Johanna in St. Louis City Hall. At the time Johanna was living, probably with her parents, at 4400 S. Broadway.

    Here is a picture of Johanna. The date and place is unknown, but certainly before Aug. 1940 and after 1930. The location is perhaps her home.
    Here is a picture of Johanna, on our right. The identity of the other person is unknown. The date and place is unknown, but certainly before Aug. 1940 and after 1930. The location is perhaps her home.
    Here is a picture of Johanna with a friend or relative. They seem to be at a pool.. The date and place is unknown, but certainly before Aug. 1940 and after 1930.
    Here is a picture of Johanna. The date and place is unknown, but certainly before Aug. 1940 and after 1930. The location is perhaps her home in St. Louis.

    I do not think she had more children than the two listed above.

    Her daughter Johanna died on 06 Aug. 1940 in St. Louis and was buried in Sunset Memorial Park. Her husband Johann died only 5 days later.

    She died in Oct. 1940. She was buried in the Kristmann lot (section 12, lot 232) in Sunset Burial Park (now called Sunset Memorial Park).

    Here is Katherine's grave site in Sunset Memorial Park, section 12, lot 232. She is buried next to her husband and son. On the other side of the monument is buried her daughter and two in-laws.
