Susanna Shimke

GEDCOM Note

Q:Is the Susanna Radke shown as 2nd wife of Friedrich Schimke the same Susanna Radke you said was second wife to Peter Schulz, or different person?

A:Some have told me that it was the same woman. According the Kulm Church Family Book (1860-1880) Peter Schulz 1798 wife Susanna was born 6/4/1813 Polen. The 1st baptism record I could find for children of Friedrich Schimke 1783 & Susanna was in 1825. So if it's the same woman, she married at an age 12 or under to a widower with 3 children older than herself. As per Bessarabian website, it is the same woman who married both Friedrich Schimke & Peter Schulz.

Jun 4 1813 date must be an error - a skinny '0' taken as a 1?? The Koblenz date would be a more age appropriate date regarding dates of marriage and births of children.
