I am looking for any information on a Helena Holsopple (or any of its various spellings) that may have been born at sea. She would have been immigrating to the US from Germany/Bavaria. My information is sketchy, since I'm getting most of it from census information. I'm estimating her year of birth as 1848. She was married to Jacob Brown and lived in Western Maryland at least from 1870 - 1920. In both the 1910 and 1920 census, she is living in Allegany County, MD with her daughter Lilly Parker and family. She probably died after 1920 as she is no longer in the census in 1930. Her other children included Henry, Richard, Caspar, William, Charlotta, Ida, and Mary.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm stuck BIG TIME.

Thanks,

Crissy
