Documentation:
* I have found these spellings for the mother's name: Amelia, Emily, Emilie and for
her last name: Babst, Bapst. The name as written inside her 1878 German Leider is
"Emilie Babst Krakow" and I assume that would be the correct spelling.
* Children: Cutt (I couldn't read the name)? Also, my grandmother talked about two
other siblings, Tony and Jessie.
