Hi Caralee, what is your question?

I have edited my question. I would like information about Wilhelmina Mueller who married Stanley Wegresin Dudick. Thanks.

Do you have an idea from which area in Germany they came frome or which names the parents had.

I did a fast searh and found 2 Wilhelmina Müller born on 11 Feb 1865; one in Bavaria and one in Württemberg. And there will be some more I think, because that is a very common name. Without additional information you will not find the correct one.

Thank you, Dieter. I don't have too much information about Wilhelmina's origins. I know about her life over here but not much about before she came over here. All I know is she was born in Germany and that her mother died when she was young. She was put in a Catholic orphanage by her father, Jacob Gehart and fostered out to several different families before somehow getting to Hungary where she married Stanley Wegresin aka Dudick when she was about 20. They came over to the U.S. in 1890. Thanks for your efforts.

I had contact regarding the question with C-H Geschwind.
We are both of the opinion that Wilhelmina Müller and the Pole Stanislaw Wegresin were married in 1885 in Salgótarján in today's Hungary and their first three children were born there.

So first this marriage entry has to be evaluated.

However, neither of us is familiar with Hungarian (Austro-Hungarian) sources. Therefore, I suggest contacting familia austria (https://www.familia-austria.at/index.php), who certainly have greater experience in the former Austrian territories.

Thank you so much, Dieter. That is a very good suggestion. I thought I had hit the proverbial brick wall.
