If you get the 1893 New York marriage certificate it should confirm the names of her parents as per Nadine's reply above, kind regards, Neil + Shaggy from South Africa.

Hey everybody!
Thank you very much for all the posts. I'm already familiar with FamilySearch and Ancestry informations, but unfortunately they do not match. Maria Wilhelmiina must have been born in 1860 since she was 68 years old when she died. Therefore, parents cannot be right either. The marriage certificate would probably be an aid - or a birth certificate, but unfortunately I have not been able to find it. So I'm going to ask for a marriage certificate from New York. It can certainly be ordered online for a fee.
Have a nice day everyone, greetings from France!

I found a record of the person showing a date born 1859, it is all written in Swedish, I am having somebody in Estonia looking into it for me. Hopefully something come out of it. Anyway, the date of birth is "estimated" and not precisely. This is the thing about genealogy, it is mostly in the dark and frustrating, but sometimes there are a small bit of light on the horizon!

Hello Heidi, the New York municipal archives has certificates of those dates (1893), so suggest you contact them. Good luck. Kind regards from South Africa, Neil + Shaggy P.S., my French great grandmother was born Paris, 1865!
