Ernest And Emma Kundig Research

Improved Essays
My research objective is to find the birth places of Ernest and Emma Kundig. My first step, I took was to visit Ancestry. I searched the 1920 United States Federal Census. I decided this must be my first step since it was the only source the client had about their ancestor. I discovered from this census that Ernest and Emma immigrated to the United States in 1893.
Another piece of information, I learned from the census was the birthplace of Ernest and Emma. He was born in Switzerland while she was born in Germany. I wanted to find out more about them, so I headed over to the U.S. Passport Application 1795- 1925 where I found out Emma was born on July 14, 1885 in Stralsund, Germany. Ernest was born in November 28, 1884 in Herison,

    I started my search to answer this question by viewing the 1900 derivative census. I thought I found the answer to this question because I saw the name Flora appeared on this census. However, I took a closer look and saw it stated Morgan Bright was the head of the household and mentioned Sallie E as what appeared to be the sister. I knew something wasn’t right since I just found indirect evidence along with secondary information. Another thing that didn’t match up was when it said, Morgan Bright was born in Georgia and the Mother was born in Alabama.…

Anything they did was placed below writings of their straight counterparts, no matter the skill of the author.…
