Note

Note: {geni:occupation} Housewife

Note: {geni:about_me} Bertha was the first wife of Ernst Paul Meyn and the mother of Ludwig Paul Meyn

Bertha Schnieder and Amanda (Munda) Schnieder were sisters, (Ernst Paul Meyn's second wife), The Family bible of Ernst Paul Meyn appears to state that her name was Bertha Albert?, as her middle name was somewhat obscure, I originally assumed that it was her middle name "Alberta" .

However verbal history states that her daughter was named after her, the only reference I can find to a daughter that would match was Auguste, and have adjusted her records accordingly.

There are two separate reasons cited (verbally)as cause of death. 1) Complications due to childbirth, and 2) Smallpox/influenza . Either is plausible as smallpox was rampant in the area she lived in and Bertha died the same day of the birth of her twins.
