   This could be Catherine Mindar, wife of George, mother of Mary, George, Katie, Caroline, Lizzie, Frank, ((Rebecca)), and Flora. In 1880 they lived in Gardner, Sangamon County, IL.

   In 1870 they lived in Sacket, Sangamon County, IL. The name was incorrectly transcribed as “Merdu” and looks more like Minder than Mindar.

   See George Johann Minder at Find A Grave Memorial #62098292 and Fredericka Kathrine Vencenhafer at Find A Grave Memorial #62098244.

   There are a lot more facts available, but this is a good start. Good luck !!

      I take that back. The above George and Catherine are not the person in your death certificate.

      Back to the drawing board.

      KTC – thanks for following my blog and for your input. I created the F.A.G. memorial for Catharine a couple years ago, but never trusted my surname guess. Once I changed the spelling, Catharine became one of 36 Mindaks. I appreciate your help getting her into the right circle.
