Notes

There are indications from Family Trees on Ancestry.com that there may be other children of the Karl K. and Elisabeth Munsch Wacker family. For example: Utz Wacker, 1908-1908; Edward Wacker, 1909-1909; Baby Girl Wacker 1917-1917. However, I have no documentation for these children so I will provide their existence only in this note. If others will provide documentation, I will gladly include them in the compilation of Karl and Elisabeth's children. [DLL.]

Married:

There is no document for this marriage. The only source that I have is the Ancestry.com Family Tree of Joyce Mebius that indicates that the marriage took place in 1901 in Zeeland, McIntosh, North Dakota. [DLL.]
