I'm just wandering around the tree while I'm on "Ranger" duty -- this just means I watch a few feeds to see if people might need help with anything.
I noticed that you changed the Last Name at Birth on this profile to reflect what was used on the US Census records.
Normally what we do in situations where a person's birth name changes over time because of immigration, etc., is to use the spelling that was on the earliest-found record. So, if the German spelling is what she used at birth, you can leave that as the Last Name at Birth and then add the Americanized spelling in either the Current Last Name or Other Last Names field. When you have time, this page should be helpful: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Name_Fields
Have a great day and happy Wikitreeing! :-)
