Maria Catharina Held6
b. Bechtolsheim · Remained in Germany — Oppenheim
Stayed in Germany. Last known contact was a letter in old German script written shortly after WWII (~1945–46). She was elderly at that time. A cousin Philip Held visited in 1934 and reported she was a widow living in Oppenheim with a son who was a teacher. Descendants were never traced after the war. No further genealogical data available for this line.
