My name is Theresa. I am 175 years old. I was born in Germany in 1837. I immigrated to the United States with my parents shortly thereafter. My niece is trying to find out more about me and I thought this would be a good way to get my story across. There is not much information out there about me. I was born, I lived, and died. My name is on a couple of census records. So I existed. But who am I? What made up the dash between the dates on my headstone? I am sure that much of what will be written about me here will be fiction, a fable with threads of truth woven in. The tapestry of my life is merely an outline of barely discernible lines, the imagination of my niece will fill in the colors and patterns. Please join us on our journey as the dash on my tombstone becomes a colorful story for all to see.
Theresa
