Amelia's parents. My great-great grandparents.
Daniel Frederick Christopher Wollatz (Wallace)
born Feb 6, 1839, died Feb 25, 1908, age 69.
and Johanna Maria Frederika Notling
born in Germany June 21, 1839, died July 18, 1929, age 90.
date of photo in the late 1880's, when they were both nearing 50.
Each became 50 in 1889. Their Silver Wedding Anniversary was in 1888,
they were married June 7, 1863.
Study this photo and wonder about their personalities. Were they as severe and stern as they look at first glance? Or could there be a twinkle in his eye? Was Mrs.Wallace warm and gentle?
Daniel and Johanna had six children:
Frederika Wilhelmena Louise, born Sept 11, 1863 (?) died Oct 7, 1894, age 31.
Her parents were married June 7, 1863, was she born just three months after?
Frederika married a Russian, who reportedly abused her....

Amelia's maternal grandparents were:
Carl David Notling, born Mar 18, 1813, died Oct 6, 1901.
Several variations on this spelling, according to Farnham Holy Cross
Lutheran Cemetery records: Noethling and Nothling,
Americanized from the German Notling (with umlat over the "o")
and Maria Dorthea Begring (born Aug 23, 1810, died Jan. 28, 1894)
Cemetery record lists her as Dorthea Noethling.
Maria Dorthea's siblings were Charles, Caroline and Minnie,
plus five (?) more who died as infants. Some of this information is handwritten so
not verified by any cemetery records.
Hi, how far back does The Nothing Family go?, Are we originally from Sweden, as Notling is a Swedish surname. Thank you
