Hello, List!

I'm trying to find a woman who died on 5 or 6 May 1850 in Dubuque
County. She died after giving birth, so she would probably have died at
home, in District 7.

Her last name was OEHLER, but that name has been spelled incorrectly
more times than it's been spelled correctly-- on censuses and other
records. (In fact, her husband, Ambrose OEHLER, was indexed on the 1850
census as Abrais OEHLEEN --pretty different!)

I'd love to know the woman's first name. She was my
great-great-grandmother.

Many thanks for any help you might lend.

Good rooting--
