Martin Hambsch Death Certificate

In the same envelope as Walburga Hambsch's death certificate was Martin Hambsch's death certificate. He was Walburga's husband and my natural great-great Grandfather. He died on 16 July 1918 in Brooklyn. Significant new items from his death certificate include:

• His death date (16 July 1918) and likely birthdate (2 Oct 1865 in Germany)


• Where he is buried (Holy Trinity Cemetery -- See the Walburga Hambsch entry for more on it)


• His father's name (Jenophin Hambsch)

Again, another disappointment: instead of his mother's name, his wife's maiden name (Walburga Algeier or Allgaier) is listed. It is common for mistakes on a death certificate because the person who is giving the information is usually distraught. This may be one of those cases (or a big coincidence).
