Sophie's family says she came as "as a little girl", and Rosina's family says she was only two years old. However, it appears that they came to this country a little later than that. It may be that Jacob, aged 37 and a brother, Conrad, Came during 1855. I have seen notice of this but as yet (1994) have not looked up the particulars. If this is the case, it seems that Jacob may have been younger than Christine.

The 1880 census of Boston shows Paul Koch and family living at 283 Lexington Avenue. By 1907 the family was residing at 242 East Eagle Street in East Boston.
On 2 November 1907 the Boston Globe carried a story on page 2 headlined "Kills Himself With Shotgun - Paul Koch said to have been despondent." It tells us that "while the family were preparing for supper shortly after 6 o'clock Mr. Koch went into the cellar of his house. Members of the family heard the report of the gun and rushed to the cellar. Mr. Koch was found lying on the floor with a wound in his right temple." He was removed to the Relief station, but died a few minutes later. The article says that the year before Paul Koch had attempted to end his life by "cutting his wrist with a razor. He had been suffering from despondency. He was retired from business." One can only imagine the grief of his wife and eight children.

The Dencklau Bible was frayed on the side were the year of his birth was recorded. I am assuming it was 1878, as this would "fit", but this must be verified by other sources.

Children of Ferdinand Louis4 Dencklau and Mary Tripney were as follows:
The Dencklau family Bible reads that he died "age 31 missing since Dec. 14, 1935 found sat., Mar. 7th, 1936". Perhaps a newspaper account of the tragedy would bring forth further details.
At this moment, the year of Elizabeth's birth is in question. The page on which her birth was recorded was frayed at the end where the year was, making it impossible to be sure. I have taken the year 1883 until this may be verified through alternate sources.
