Hi Kathy,
I do not know anything about her ancestors or her ex-husband ( ? Egger).
I believe that either she or her husband had money from what my grandmother has told me.
Anna owned quite a bit of property in Warren, PA.
my grandmother told me that there was a John Struken related to Anna and Fred Strtucken was his son, (Florines's age b. abt 1890-1910) also a Bob Srucken somehow Related. I do not know the relationship of any of these people though.
Anna was born about 1839, possibly in Berne, My grandmother has a couple of items that say they are from Berne.
She had at least 2 children, Margretha and Fred (Probably Gotfried).
Anna came to New york at the age of 53 with Gottfried Dasen, her son-in-law and his daughter Theresa, here is her info from her passenger record:
