Notes


Christian Gottlieb Seelemann

The death of Anna Maria Seelemann, born Apelt, on July 25, 1813, is recorded
in Mormon film 1273391.  She was buried July 27.  Her husband was Christian
Seelemann, meat cutter, and she left behind one son and two daughters.  The
age at death is illegible, but clearly ends with 2, and the first digit could
be 7.  She is listed as dying of old age (Alterschwäche), so it could be
age 72.  Thus she might be the mother of Christian Gottlieb.

The death of Christian Gottlob Seelmann is recorded on Mormon film 1273391 on
January 2, 1826, in Gräfenhainichen, Germany, item number 1, buried January
5.  He is listed as an local elderly citizen and meat cutter.  The age at
death is written on the book, but does not appear on the film because it was
lost in the crack.  I think it says he was already a widower, but I could be
wrong.  It states that he leaves behind one son, so this could be the father
of Christian Gottlieb.

I wonder whether Johann Gottlob Seelemann or Johann Friedrich Wilhelm
Seelemann is related.

letters were hard to read.

Johanna Augusta Lind

According to the census in Vetlanda, she moved to Wimmerby (?) on Nov 21, 1876, and also (?) on Oct 21, 1881.

Went to the USA July 16, 1882, and lived and died in Brooklyn.  Known as "Augusta".  We have a nice portrait of the family in which the oldest boy appears to be 13, so the picture would have been taken in 1911.
