Louise and Marie Dondelinger
AngelNicki
Hi! I am looking for information on the family of Louise and Marie Dondelinger, who immigrated to the USA from Dalheim, Luxembourg in 1912. Here is what I know... They originally moved to Dubuque, Iowa, where Louise worked as a nanny and Marie worked as a cook. Later Louise also worked as a cook in the same city.
By 1921 Louse was married to Nicholas Miller and lived in Illinois.
Marie may have gone back to Luxembourg.
They also had a brother named John, who was born in 1899 and immigrated to Illinois in 1920.
Marie's real name may have been Marguerite or Margaret.
Thanks!
