Notes
a. Note:   N61 Possibly Immigrated with older children prior to Bertha and younger children coming over in 1889. Could read and write but still spoke no English in 1900
 Birthday was listed as 3 Nov 1836 on the 1900 Census. His death certificate lists it as Nov. 3 1838. His gravestone at Union has the 1838 year, but the month and date are worn away (looks like Nov, but I can’t decipher the date). I’ve decided to go with the date on his death certificate - Nov. 3 1838. Obit reads: “August Steffen, died Aug. 11. Funeral August 14 1902. Age 64 years, 4 months, 11 days (which would make his birthday March 31 1838) Union Cemetery. Wife’s name, Bertha. Children, Helen, Ida, Gustaf, Ernest, August, Robert, Bertha.” Obit was in German, translated by Colleen Sweek, a German teacher. (I could not find the copy.)
b. Note:   Milwaukee Wisconsin
