Person in this family
[unnamed] Mayer (female)
Born 20 March 1883; death not recorded
A child of Michael Mayer and Leah Adelaine Stillwell was born at Manhattan on **20 March 1883** and registered with **no given name at all** — the clerk entered only the surname. Two separate New York indexes carry the same nameless entry, so it is not a transcription slip. A birth registered without a forename usually means the child died before a christening, and this one appears in no later record: not the 1900 census, not the family's marriages, nowhere. The eldest of this family, and never named.

What we still don't know
- Whether this child lived. Nothing after the birth registration has been found, and no burial. A New York City death record for a Mayer infant of 1883 would confirm it.
