Notes
There are not sufficient sources to document the other two daughters, Barbara and Elizabeth, so I have not added them. Also, my ancestor David Kauffman is not listed among the children of Rudolph and Elizabeth. I am not certain that this is the correct parent for my ancestor. David's DOB is before the (approximate) marriage date of this couple. More research is needed.
