Received this message and this will have to be a work in progress. I'm not sure if Ludwig (from death cert) and Louis (listed in this Find a Grave as the father) are the same person. And death cert says she was born 1866, so is the there an error in the stone birth year?

Suggested edit: The mother was only 10 yrs old and the father was only 13. I dont think this is correct.
