Census Records & City Directory
As stated earlier, I have spent hours upon hours searching the 1850
Census for George Wenzel. I have gone so far as to look at the index for
every person named George in 1850 in Baltimore. Any name that looked
like a garbled version of Wenzel was analyzed. The 1860, 1870, and 1880
Census records for the George and Catherine Wenzel family are very
revealing:
