Aunt June told me that Grandpa's death certificate reported her maiden name as Martsch.
Uncle Fred's marriage record to Pauline shows the name as Martch.
I have found nothing under either of these surnames. The closest I came to finding anything are passenger records and index records for a Magdalene/Magdalena Mauch.
There is no way, at this point in time, of knowing anything until I find something definitive with the surname. Then, maybe, I can start filling in the blanks of my biggest brickwall.
