I have two Williams both married to a Sybilla. One William had no parents listed, the other did. One William had children listed and the other did not until I started working on his line. The children are the same as the other William. Makes you think they are the same, right? The only problem is the maiden names of the girls. They are different. Everyone has the wives' dates of birth/death the same on the internet. Did Syblla remarry after her husband's death? Is that where the other name comes in? He did before 1900 and she lived to 1936 so it is possible. However, I have parents for the Riedy wife and I am unable to find anything that makes me think she remarried.
Did Ms. Riedy marry a William and researchers have confused the too?
I am confident of her maiden name as Donat, finally. I found her marriage record and her maiden name is listed on several of the death certificates of her children.
Now to figure out the Riedy.
Update:
They are the same person. Her father died when she was young and her mother remarried. Wow. It has taken me hours to get this figured out, but I did it!
