Notes:

                   Christian Koehn, father of Ferdinand Koehn, from Ferdinand's
death certificate.  Christian's wife's name was Mary.
Ferdinand was 10 years old when he came to America in 1862, so
he probably came with his family.  If so, Christian and Mary
Koehn could have died in Chicago, where Ferdinand first settled.
