Historical context
These background articles explain the places, work, and events in this entry.
What we still don't know
- She married Konrad Emrich at **Far Rockaway, Queens, on 13 July 1884**. Her own parents are not carried on the index entry and the certificate would have them — she is the one person in this couple whose people are unknown.
- Dates, places, occupations and relationships imported from the 1 August 2026 Geni export require verification against original records.
- [CONFLICT] This archive records her mother as Dorothee Woock. Her 1884 marriage record carries Johann Schoendorf — which matches her recorded father — alongside **Eliz Quiss**, in the position where the bride's mother would sit. Eliz Quiss may be a second wife of Johann, a witness, or evidence that the recorded mother is wrong. Both readings are kept until a baptism or a death record settles it.
