Anna Catharina PETERS born on November 29, 1843 in Leerhafe, Wittmund, Lower Saxony. baptized on December 10, 1843 in Leerhafe-Kirmeer, Wittmund, Lower Saxony. This is different from date on gravestone which shows ANNA K BROCKENS B) 8 DEC 1846. The obit following shows birth as December 5, 1845.I've chosen to use the birth as recorded in Germany as it works with her brother's birth date and the death of her father.
