I found them all!!

I found all of the Camann children!! Woohoo!

I have been working on this for a few months, and today I found the last one!! In a copy of Christoph's biography, it says that he and Louise had ten living children. I have found information in obituaries, on the internet and this week I had talked to a very nice lady at the Historical Society of North German Settlements in WNY, and she sent me a page from the Holy Ghost Church records, and on that list was the one child I was missing!

So, here is the information I have about Christoph and Louise Camann and all ten of their children:

This is kind of funny! This is the Camann plot marker from the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, New York. When I was looking at the photo up close, you can see Martha's headstone in the background. The plot marker is blocking the last number of her death year.
