Conrad Roberts first wife was Mary Magdalene Frankforter, my 4th great aunt. I am descended from her brother, Johann Philip Frankforter (FInd A Grave # 59364377). I cannot find an entry for Mary.

Can you correct her name in Conrad's FaG entry please? My information is based on the Frankforter Family Group sheets compiled by Mary Riter and copies in the possession of Wynne Gilmore.
