Johann Schoendorf

Born 1833; death not recorded

Johann Schoendorf was born in Bavaria about 1833. He is recorded as the father of Magdalena Schoendorf, who married Conrad Emrich at Far Rockaway in 1884 — and he appears in person on that marriage record, alongside an Eliz Quiss, where the bride's mother would be expected. This archive records his wife as Dorothee Woock. Which of the two women was Magdalena's mother is unresolved and both are kept.

Partly proved

Amelia Seelig/Selig: three deaths, ages implying births of 1881, 1859 and 1841, none fitting January 1850. Schoendorf: 54 deaths, no John of a fitting age; the nearest is Nicholas Schoendorf, 66 y, 21 September 1899, Kings, no. 16294, implying 1833 exactly but the wrong given name.

What we still don't know

  • [NOT FOUND, AND THE NEAR-MISS IS A COINCIDENCE] The New York death index holds 54 Schoendorf deaths plus variants, and no John of an age fitting a birth in 1833 — the Johns die at 29, 45, 79 (born 1862), one year and one hour. The closest row is Schoendorf, Nicholas, 66 y, 21 September 1899, Kings, no. 16294, implying 1833 exactly with the wrong given name. A right year with a wrong name is a coincidence, not a candidate, and nothing has been attached. Finding 161.
