Research Questions

• The 1900 Census mentions his emigration in 1891. Can this be backed up with a primary source? How did he emigrate to the US?
• The 1900 census states that the mother had three children; two of which were still living. What do we know about the children of Carrie Laker?
• The birth registration journal, dated 10 October 1942, mentions that his wife Carolina (Laker) Hollenkamp (1875-1932) has had six children, three of which were still living.^[5] Is this conflicting evidence to the 1910 and 1920 censuses?
