One Person at a Time...Barbara



~Even though I have a lot of people in my family tree, I also have a lot of "holes" that need more research. Over the next few months, I am going to attempt to patch up those holes by doing research one person at a time- starting at the beginning of the list~

Today's name: Barbara

I wasn't able to find too much on Barbara- just that she was born on 04 Dec 1844 and died on 20 Feb 1910 in Germany. She married Johann "John" Houdick (1839-1912) and they had at least one daughter- Anna.

After Research:
I wasn't able to find too much on Barbara because it appears that she is still living- findings are limited. I did find out that her middle name is Florence and she was married on 10 May 1971 in Polk County, Minnesota.
