Wilhelm, whose sister is Anna Berg, died of an illness or accident, at 14 years old. His biological father was Josef Berg. His sister Anna was fond of William, but told her nearest relatives nothing about him.
By the time Anna left Germany in 1906, I believe Wilhelm had already died. I want to find his death information, to discover what disease or accident he died from AND I want to learn more about his families before his birth.
If you can research it, I would really like to know more. I don't know German well enough to attempt it.
