Barbara SIEFERT BIEGER FENNAN HAASE HAASE
 was born near Darmstadt, Germany ca. 1825.  She died in Warsaw, Hancock County, Illinois in 1903 and is buried in the German Lutheran Cemetery in Warsaw, Hancock County, Illinois.

Barbara had quite a life. She was married four times:

1) Peter BIEGER 1849 Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio
2) George FENNAN ca. 1855-1856 unknown location
3) Conrad HAASE 1859 Tioga, Hancock County, Illinois-divorced.
4) Conrad HAASE 1884 Ft. Madison, Lee County, Iowa-divorced.

I first learned about Barbara through her daughter Franciska TRAUTVETTER, my great-great-grandmother. My search for more information on Franciska led to a lot of information on her mother. I wrote about this search for the Ancestry Daily News. The articles are available here in their original two installments:

Part I
Part II

The articles also provide an interesting study of downstate Illinois research.
