Notes:

Probably named after her aunt Lina Knoetgen and her mother Maria.

Caroline (Carrie) Trapschuh Hollander came to the United States with her parents. It took nine weeks to cross the ocean and the food ran out towards the end of the trip. She told her family that she remembered people becoming very ill on the voyage and many dying along the way. She told later generations that, to keep alive, they survived by eating potato peelings. Although only four years old when she came to America, the experience left a lasting impression on her. The family eventually settled in Milwaukee, which was considered wilderness area at the time and the city was separated into two separate communities. Carrie was acquainted with Solomon Juneau (the founder of one of the two incompatible communities) and used to tell interesting stories about him, though none of those survived her. She was a pioneer of Milwaukee and related how, when the family visited neighbors in the evening, they took a lantern with them to light the way.

Karolina married Johannes Adam Holländer Hollander on 5 May 1868 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA. Johannes (son of Franz Matthias Holländer and Anna Maria Menz) was born on 15 May 1843 in Edesheim, Pfalz, Bayern; was christened on 15 May 1843 in Edesheim, Pfalz, Bayern; died on 29 May 1922 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA; was buried on 1 Jun 1922 in Forest Home Cemetery, Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA.
