=================================
Name on the 1880 census was listed as Amalia. Most likely this was her name at baptism and the nuns called her Amalia at Catholic School but her nickname was Mollie. Likewise, her sister Carrie more than likely was given the name Caroline at her baptism. Manitowoc County Court House records would be the place to check for thier legal birth names.
