    Gerhard's mother is listed as Maria Klein: Notes: She is not listed in the household at the time of the 1835 census. Likely the same Maria Klein as #670372, the daughter of Johann Klein and Sara Ens
    ( Molotschna census)
    Gerhard's grandfather is listed as Issac Enz.
    **Note that the surname spelling changes. Apparently, people would change their surname spelling to suit themselves, the place they lived or others taking the census at times misspelt names.
