This is my favorite reliable source story from my own family.  The
spelling of the surname and the first name varies.  There is no record of
her birth that we've found in Luxembourg.  There is no record of her
birth in Wisconsin, where the family settled.  There was a record of the
birth of her sister, who was born in 1848 in Wisconsin.  If she was one
of the twins, the other twin said she was born in Sept 1846 in the 1900
census.  Johanna said she was born Oct 28, 1849, when a family bible was
prepared in 1910.

Ages of Johanna as listed in Census and other records:
