  • California Death Index: born 22 Sep 1894 in Kansas; father Wiebe, mother Janzen
  • Kansas census, 1 Mar 1895: "Holda," age 1, born Kansas, with her parents in Marion County
  • U.S. censuses of 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1940 all give her birthplace as Kansas
  • A births-and-christenings index gives the same date with the birthplace Korn (Corn), Washita County, Oklahoma

CONFLICT: birthplace Kansas (censuses, death index) versus Korn, Oklahoma (christening index, which may record where she was christened). No record found names Hillsboro. Left as recorded.

Google search: Peter Wiebe 1852-1911, Roscommon / Gladwin County, Michigan. Sourced, grade B (Baltimore passenger list).

Restructured: the arrival at Baltimore was entered three times (two Event-Misc entries and an immigration event whose place held a sentence). Now one immigration event, 13 Jul 1892, Baltimore, Maryland, with the ship (Dresden, from Bremen) in a note and the passenger-list citation. The 1861-1862 Event-Misc cited to a "source" named "Schooled" is now an education event at Wernersdorf. The 1880-1884 "immigration" was a move within the Russian Empire to Tashkent and Aulie-Ata (the Mennonite Great Trek); it is now a residence event, and the text that had been stored as a source title (S100) is its note.

The residence "Owlidta" (from the passenger list) is not identified; its note speculates on an Uzbek place name and is unverified.

Not found online: his burial in Butman Cemetery, Gladwin County.
