Mortuary record for April 1910, Louisville, Kentucky. Ancestry.com. Kentucky, Death Records, 1852-1963 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2007.

Marcella Staeuble (or Stauble) was born on 5 July 1908 in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of  John A. Staeuble (or Stauble) and Mary K. Casabella. She died of diptheria on 18 April 1910.

The 1910 United States Federal Census enumeration responses reflected the composition of the household as of 15 April 1910. Marcella's family was enumerated on 22 or 23 April 1910. Although she was deceased at that time, she was enumerated with her family because she was still alive on April 15.

Marcella was my third cousin three times removed. She and her father were descendants of my 5th-great-grandparents Anton Stäuble and Maria Elisabeth Gaßmann (or, written without using the eszett, Gassmann).

Church Record Sunday: Südbadische Standesbücher

Church records from southern Baden are available online at http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/web/49484. The records, which are held by Staatsarchiv Freiburg, cover the years 1810-1870, although the full date range may not be available for every locality.

I have ancestors from southern Baden, so I was very excited when I learned that these records are available online. I have been looking at Catholic church records from Görwihl and Niederwihl.
