Franciska and John Trautvetter Michael Trautvetter married February 18, 1868 in Hancock County, Illinois.
In the U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, she is named "Franciska Bieger". However, in the Illinois Marriage Index, she is Franciska Haase.
Franciska's childrens records list her maiden as Bieger, Beeger, Beaker ...
Those records include marriages and Social Social Security Apps & Claims Index.
"Haase" explanation: Franciska's mother, Barbara, married Conrad "Haas", "Hease" (depending on the transcription) April 25, 1859; and Barbara's two Bieger daughters, Francizka and Louise, are listed as "Haas" on the 1860 census and as "Hays" on the 1880 census. It is unknown whether or not they were officially adopted by Conrad Haase, but it explains why the Bieger girls used "Haase" as their maiden name on their marriage documents. (Neither the 1860 nor the 1870 include "relationship", so it is unknown how the question might have been answered: daughter, adopted daughter, or step-daughter - all valid designations on the 1880 census. But Barbara and Conrad divorced before the 1880 census, although Conrad lists himself as "married" and is living with three of their older Bieger children. Barbara herself is living with their youngest, Anna, in 1880.

*Peter Bieger died Nov 1855, and on January 27, 1856, George Fennan was appointed guardian of Franciska Bieger (age 5) and Louise Bieger (age 1) and as administrator of Peter Bieger's estate.

The responsibility was transferred to Barbara Fennan, widow of Peter Bieger and wife of the aforementioned George Fennan. [1856 Probate papers for Peter Bieger].
**Barbara's maiden name appears as Siefert, Seifert, Seifer, Sipher, Pickert,
