We also knowthat Nathalia (Dolly) Koenig, daughter of Gottlieb, had several picturesof the Jerke family which have notes on the back saying either 'uncleJohn and aunt Elizabeth' or 'Dolly's aunt and uncle'. We therfore areassuming that Elizabeth's parents listed on her funeral home record arealso the parents of Gottlieb.
