Evidence status
Contemporary newspaper death notice; household relationships documented and wider relationships stated collectively
Uncertainty
The notice calls Anna a wife, mother, sister, sister-in-law and aunt without assigning every relationship to a named mourner. It places her in Paul, Max, Else and Ernst’s close family generation but does not name her parents. Else Sernau may be the relative remembered as ‘Liesl,’ but no record yet proves that identification.
