Matrilineal Monday: Louisa Kahlig Braun

1/25/2015

Yesterday, I posted the obituary and death certificate of Louisa Kahlig Braun, one of my husband's great-great-grandmothers through his maternal line. Today I thought I would share a record I recently found through FamilySearch.org: Louisa's baptism record. (Click for larger view.)
Louisa Kahlig Braun Baptism Record
Baptism Record of Aloisia Kahlig
The Catholic church book record states that 'Aloisia' was born 25 Feb 1870 to Franz Kahlig and Judith Beier. The record is written in German and the Kahlig family members were native German speakers. They lived in the Moravian-Silesian Region of what is now the Czech Republic. When they immigrated to America in 1871, they listed their country of origin as Austria, because their homeland was part of Austria-Hungary at the time. When she was born, Louisa had two older siblings - a brother Josef, born in 1865, and a sister Ludmilla ('Amelia' in the U.S.), born in 1862. A younger sister, Caroline, was born in the U.S. in 1873. Here is her parents' marriage record from 1861. In this record, her mother, Judith's surname is spelled Beyer. (Click for larger image.)

The Kahlig family settled in rural Mercer County, Ohio and ran a farm. Around 1890, Louisa married John M. Braun, son of Peter and Elizabeth (Uhleman) Braun. Between 1892 and 1912, they had ten children. John passed away in 1936 and Louisa in 1948. You can view information regarding their children on my Braun Family page at this link.

St. Peter Cemetery, St. Peter (Mercer County), Ohio
This is the burial place of two of my husband's great-great-grandparents on his mother's side of the family.  John M. Braun was born and died in St. Peter, Ohio, where he worked as a farmer his entire life.  His wife, Louisa Kahlig, was born in Austria and immigrated with her family to America when she was about a year old.  They were married in St. Peter and had ten children, all of whom survived well into adulthood.
