The 1870 census lists POB as Prussia for all members of the family group. This probably refers to the Kingdom of Prussia (German: Königreich Preußen). [1]
Her birth record shows she was born in Rheinland, Prussia. [2], [3]
Josephine's birth surname was consistently mangled in all records found except for death record. Tied to brother thru his birth surname that was never mangled and father Conrad.
1900 US Census lists Josephine as mother of 8 children, 7 living -- all of which are listed in the family group.
1870 - US - Note: Spelling of surname is Jorkan instead of Joecken. [8]
1880 - US- Note: This is Schwarzwalder not Schnortzwaidt. [9]
1890 - US Lost in fire. [10], [11]
1900 - US - Note: A close examination of this record shows the name is Schwarzwalder and not Schu*Der. Also, the family group list is comparable to the list in the 1910 census. [12]
1910 - US [13]
1920 - US [14]
1930 - US [15]
