Correct spelling of surname and origin of surname
Still looking up family history for our tree, and having a heck of a time because apparently someone within records can't spell correctly. I am trying to find out first the correct spelling of my great grandmothers maiden name, and also am trying to find our her death information (also would like to find her husbands as well).
Her married name is Reckholder, but her maiden is hopefully one of these three: Ralbowski, Rabolfsky, or Ralbufski. Must be an American thing to not pay attention to detail! :^)
Just for extra information for you guys to help me (if you'd like to!) Her first name is Agnes and his is Joseph. On the 1920 census you'll notice that they had 9 children, which Hugo died of TB when he was in his 20's I believe, but I can't find any death data on Joseph, Hugo, Theresa, or Mamie (Mary in 1930 census).
Also, if you look at the 1930 census with the Reckholder name you'll notice now that Agnes is a widow while her daughters are all working. Instead of her home country being Hungary it's now Czechoslovakia (see as Austria is crossed out, probably just a basic mistake). Is Czechoslovakia considered part of Hungary is that what's going on? Anyhow, all your help is GREATLY appreciated on this matter!
