Old City Cemetery, Galveston, Galveston County, Texas, USA [3]
Notes
On 7 April 2012, I received an email from Gene Warley in Houston TX, with a scanned note of unknown origin. The note included information that Verona TSCHUDI had "several brothers," and that she and husband Samuel WILD arrived in the US in 1833.
The note refers to "Aunt Catherine Baldinger" as well as "Aunt Sophie." I suspect records held by Gayle Cahal may shed some light.
The note also suggests that Samuel WILD died shortly after the family's arrival in Philadelphia.
14 April 2012, I searched FamilySearch.org and located Ancestral File listings for Samuel Wild and his family.
