Research notes

  • Sources: She is known only from the 1930 census entry attached to her in the family tree (an Ancestry index entry, not re-read; the image has not been read).
  • Identity and relationships: She is known only from the 1930 census at Fullerton, as attached in the family tree, where she is the wife of Louis Burger and Berenice E. is the daughter of the head of the household.1 That Laura was Berenice's mother is probable (Berenice was born about 1904, when Laura was about 33) but is not stated in any record read.
  • To search: the 1930 entry itself (age, birthplace, age at first marriage); the censuses of 1900–1920 for the Burger family in Nebraska; a Nebraska marriage record for Louis Burger and Laura M.; and her death and burial, probably at Fullerton.
  • This profile is part of the Hegnauer one-name study, as the mother (probable) of Berenice E. Burger, the friend and colleague of Lotta Donnell Hegnauer.
