Walburga (Allgaier) Hambsch Death Certificate

Another item from the New York City Archives showed up today: Walburga Hambsch's death certificate (she died on 2 October 1924). Walburga is my grandmother's natural maternal grandmother. It's a great source that provided me some significant new data on our family:

1. Walburga's death date (2 Oct 1924) and her likely birthdate (22 Feb 1866 in Germany).


2. Walburga's likely maiden name (Allgaier)


3. Walburga's likely father's name (John Allgaier, born in Germany)


4. Where Walburga is buried (Holy Trinity Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY -- don't rush to visit, supposedly this is a very bad part of Brooklyn these days).

There is one big disappointment: the word "Unknown" is written where Walburga's mother's name would be listed.
