I understand the problems with the information provided. My
Great-grandmother listed her first name as "Mina", which is a nickname for
Wilhelmina. Not to mention that her first name at Baptism in Germany was
Elise, and Wilhelmina was her middle name. (Apparently, the custom in
Germany was to use one's second name, not the first.) So checking for both
her given names was fruitless, but she turned up when I searched for her
husband.
