Our
paternal grandparents, Fritz Wanzenried and Lina Althaus, were related before they were married.
Fritz’s
father, Christian Wanzenried (1846-1919), had an older sister named Rosina
(1839-1913). That would make her Fritz’s aunt.
Rosina
married Christian Schmutz (1830-1913).
They
had twelve children, including a daughter named Maria Rosa (1863-1919).
Maria
married Gottfried Althaus. She was his second wife.
Gottfried’s
and Maria’s oldest child was Lina Althuas (1893-1981).
She
would marry Fritz Wanzenried (1884-1964) and have three children, including our
father, Fred (1915-1996).
Since
you have read this far, you are entitled to know what the relationship was: Fritz married one of his
aunt’s granddaughters.
