Text on filecard
     dated 10 October 1883. Anna Kohberty Anna and Frederick Kohbertz (no other information, and it is unclear, whether this is the father or the son.)⁷
     The 1885 census lists Anna Kohbertz (20-60, b. Germany); Frederick Kobertz (20-60, b. Germany); Anna Metzer (5-20, US-born); Hannesinne Schow (20-6-, b. Germany); and George Joseph Binns (20-60, US-born.)⁸ Name variation: Anna Maria Margaretha Metzer.² Name variation: Anna Kohberty.⁷ Married name: Kohbertz.⁵ Married name: Heugen.

     Annie Metzer was born on 26 June 1871 at Wood-Ridge, NJ.^2,3,4 She was baptized on 14 November 1879 at East Rutherford, NJ, (St. Joseph's.)² She married Alfred Gramlich on 7 January 1890 at Wood-Ridge, NJ, (He was 24, she was 19.)¹ Annie Metzer died on 16 August 1913 at Wood-Ridge.³ She was buried in NY Cemetery (Maple Grove) in Hackensack.³

     The 1910 census lists Alfred Gramlich and Annie at Hackensack Street at Wood-Ridge, Bergen County, NJ, with their four children, all b. NJ: Annie (18, bookkeeper at real estate office), Alfred (16, clerk in plumbing supply store), Irma (12), and Mildred (9); a cousin Frederick Kohbertz (63, b. Germany, single, real estate agent, imm. 1853, naturalized); and a servant Carrie Koegel (25, b. NJ, parents b. Germany). Albert and Annie's parents are also b. Germany.⁴
     There are birth records for four children: Annie (7 Dec 1891, mother Kobertz), Alfred R (12 Nov 1893, mother Kobertz), Gladys I (22 Feb 1897, mother indexed as Kobesty), an unnamed daughter (8 Feb 1895, mother Kohbertz). At the death of the eldest daughter on 14 Nov 1928 in NYC, the mother is listed as Anna Welzer.^5,6,7,8,9
     It is unclear, why Frederick Kohbertz is listed as cousin in the household of Alfred and Annie Gramlich. When Annie married Alfred in 1890, her surname is Metzer; but at the birth of her children, her surname is listed as Kobertz or a variant. At the death of daughter Annie in 1928, her surname is Wezler (prob. in error for Metzer). Annie's parents are Carolo Metzer and Anne Martin; did Anne Martin marry Frederick Kohbert Sr, as a 2nd wife? Frederick Jr is not with the family in 1850 or 1855, was he still in Germany?¹⁰ Married name: Gramlich. Name variation: Anna Kobertz (at the birth of the children.) Name variation: Anna Kohbesty Gramlich.³

NJ: Anna (9), Louisa (8), Charles (6), Amelia (4), and Frederick (1). Charles is listed as 40, b. Bavaria; Anna as 29, b. Bavaria.⁶
     NOTE: On 14 Nov 1879 both Henry and Carl have children baptised at St. Joseph's in East Rutherford. Carl is married to Anna Martin; Henricus is married to Maria Martin (the child is William Carl, b. 6 Aug 1873, NJ). Considering they both come from Munchen-Gladbach, and Anna Metzer does also, and the fact that Frederick Kohbertz is listed as a cousin of Annie Metzer Gramlich in 1910, makes me think that they are siblings. But it does not explain, why Annie Metzer's surname if Kohbertz at the birth of her children.^1,7,8,9 Name variation: Charles Metzer.⁶ Name variation: Carl Heinrich Metzer.²

     Henry Metzer was born on 26 September 1836 at Munchen-Gladbach, Germany.^2,3 He married Mary Martin. She was 20, b. 1847 in Klein Wallstadt, daughter of Johann Martin and Elizabetha Jacob. (Klein Wallstadt is in Bavaria) on 7 August 1867 at Manhattan, NY.¹

Considering they both come from Munchen-Gladbach, and Anna Metzer does also, and the fact that Frederick Kohbertz is listed as a cousin of Annie Metzer Gramlich in 1910, makes me think that they are siblings. But it does not explain, why Annie Metzer's surname if Kohbertz at the birth of her children.^5,6,7,8 Name variation: Johan Heinrich Metzer.²
