Hello Sheila - I am in need of a search for the following person. Her
name is Barbara BiFrance. She was married to my Great grandfather Anton
Kinderknecht. (b. 10/6/1836 - d. 8/5/1892 - Mariental, Russia
(Tonkoshurovka is the Russian name). Someone submitted her name under Anton
Kinderknecht, but I have no idea which children are hers and which children
belong to his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Hansen. I had contacted Dr. Pleve
for the Kinderknecht lineage, and he only listed Mary Elizabeth Hansen. My
aunt - Anton's granddaughter, is positive that her grandmother was, Barbara
BiFrance! Tis a puzzle I have been unable to solve. Thank you for your
help, Thelma Kinderknecht Mills
