Tragic because this boy, John, apparently never felt wanted -- and his feelings resulted from all the upsets among the adults around him. John Miller, if he was the "cover" husband, could have resisted claiming this boy as his own. So sad.<br /><br />The community is another character in this story, with their super-strict watchfulness and their constant disapproval. If Mary and Joseph did feel their love was "fated," the community made sure they could never be happy. It reminds me of the plot of Anna Karenina, especially as portrayed in the recent movie. A scandal and a tragedy in your own family history! I wonder how the other children of this couple fared . . .Mariann Reganhttp://mariannsregan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900471683421755580.post-2975779037332146402013-06-15T22:21:28.718-04:002013-06-15T22:21:28.718-04:00Hi Linda!

I am hoping to make it back for a visit this summer and plan to do some digging if I can swing it.<br /><br />For Agatha's name I have seen all those spellings before. the one listed above was on the picture I have of her. In addition I have also seen Richter. Spelling those darn Germanic names phonetically gives a person a lot of options!

I drop in on your blog now and then and was delighted today to see something about the Agatha and Hubert Negele family. Where did you get the spelling of Agatha's name as Reichter? I have only seen it with an s – Riesterer, Riester, or Reister.<br />Linda CohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
