Birth record shows Wilhelmine was actually born May 20, 1853 in Perhaps Korstein, Osterode, East Prussia. Her birth was recorded in both Dohlau and Geierswalde parish records, but Geierswalde's record did not include her in the count column, leading me to believe she MAY have been born in the Dohlau Parish.
