Facts (with source information): Narrative Report

What's so great about these records?
Not much is known, but at least we can get her name right. The baptism records of her four sons say it was Traumann/Dramen/Kramen, not something else that appeared decades later on a family death certificate. The rule is to take information from records that were written close in time to the event.

1932 Death of son Louis

This record is the reason you will see people on the Internet saying that Gertrude’s name was Winkleman. It is a primary record for her son Louis. However, it is incorrect. We have no less than four primary records where she herself gave her name, and it was NOT Winkleman.
