Notes
a. Note:   NF7749 Research records of Friedrich Schultz and Eva Marie Possin:
  There is a Wisconsin Death record from Williamstown, Dodge County, Wisconsin for a "Wilhelm Schultz" that died in 1898. It gives his birth date as 3 Feb 1821 and his wife's name as "Maria Possen Schultz". This certainly sounds like the correct person but there is a 1900 census for a "Fred Schultz", obviously still alive, and born about 1830 living in Trenton, Dodge County. There is also a Beaver Dam newspaper article giving details of the death of Frederick Schultz who died on 2 Jun 1905.
  So when did he die? Was it in 1898 or was it in 1905? Census records show several Schultz families living in the area and both William, Wilhelm, Friedrich, and Frederick were all common names. Based on the use of the name of the spouse as "Maria Possen Schultz" in the Wisconsin Death Record, I'd have to think that this was the correct one and therefore Friedrich's date of death should be 1898.
  However, the Find-A-Grave memorial pages for a Friedrich and Maria Schultz provide different birth and death dates. There is a photograph of their common gravestone which states that Friedrich Schultz was born on 3 Jul 1828 (instead of 1821) and died 22 Mar 1905 (instead of 1898).
  Notice that this date of death is even different than the Fred Schultz that died in the Beaver Dam newspaper article mentioned above (22 Mar 1905 compared to 2 Jun 1905). Could this be even a third Friedrich Schultz?
  On the gravestone for Friedrich Schultz on Find-A-Grave, it states that his wife, Maria, was born 31 Aug 1831 and died on 9 May 1909. Notice that the date of birth for this Maria Schultz is different than that of Eva Maria Possin who was thought to have been born on 1 Jun 1829, according to German Church records. However, the date of death on the gravestone precisely matches that of the known date of death for Eva Maria Possen, namely 9 May 1909.
  Unless there was a different Maria that was married to a different Friedrich but she happened to die on the same exact day as Eva Maria Possin, then I'd say the photograph of the gravestone seems to&nbsp; correctly match her to the proper Friedrich Schultz. And that same photograph gives what must now be assumed to be the correct birth and death dates for Friedrich Schultz.
  This means that the Wisconsin Death Record in 1898 for a "Wilhelm Schultz married to a Maria Possen Schultz" must be a different person.
  This also means that the newspaper article about a Beaver Dam resident named Frederick Schultz who died on 2 Jun 1905 must also be a different person.
  That leaves only the birth dates for Friedrich Schultz and Eva Maria Possin to be questionable. The census data for Freidrich throughout the years seems to support a birth year of 1821 instead of the 1828 on the gravestone. The problem is that a birth year of 1821 now suggests that the Wisconsin Death Record might be correct after all.
  The birth date for Eva Maria as given on the gravestone as 1831 certainly does not match any of her census records which consistently suggested a birth year of 1829 which match the original German church records.
  Now you're thinking that maybe the gravestone for Freidrich and Maria Schultz are not the right persons after all! The real problem is that there were too many people in a close geographic area all with the same name of either Friedrich Schultz or Maria Possin.
  To support the conclusion of too many people with the same name and probable misidentification, there is an 1850 census record which shows Eva Maria Possin, still un-married and living at home with her parents. Robert Westphal also indicates that Eva Maria Possin and Friedrich Schultz were married in 1849. There was no mention of Friedrich Schultz living with his new wife at the Possin home on the 1850 census. If there was a marriage in 1849 between a Friedrich Schultz and a Maria Possin, it was probably between two different people than the two in this family file.
