• (BrentGoodman): No record of Anna Maria's exact date of death can be found, but it is assumed to be sometime after the birth of her last son on July 19, 1864 and before Andreas' second marriage on February 21, 1867
• (Brent Goodman): An original source of Andreas' exact date of death cannot currently be found, but listed here is what other genealogists show.
