• Notes

  The parents of Marie Rauch are likely as listed. The parentage chosen fit the family ages and names given by Norman Forte, grandson, in an interview of him (F-17), the 1860 and 1870 census records for Pennsylvania and the death certificate for Marie Conley (Connely) Rausch (Rauch) Forte listed above. (F-240 and F:DOC) A grandchild of Marie, Henry (Hank) Forte remembers her as being called Grandma McGowan. Maybe, because her mother remarried a McGowan, she assumed the name of McGowan. (F-453) However, her son Norman claimed his mother's maiden name was Rausch in his marriage application. Marie is listed as Marie Rauch, age 13 in the 1870 census which was taken in November of 1870. There is one record that needs rechecked. The 1850 Census Records for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania list a James Raoush who was living with a Connely, Isehebel and a Johann, age 11. The names are coincidental and need rechecked. (F-388) (1850, Phil., Dau, p.254, Middle P.) or check (1850, Dau, p. 354, East Han) for a James Rauch.
