Notes |
- I assume this this is his family on the 1850 census because his age there matches up with the death record, and the initials of the parents match.
I can't find any hint of the family on the 1860 or 1870 or 1880 censuses, which is odd. Considering where he was born, they may not have been living in Orleans Parish.
In the Familysearch.org "Louisiana, Marriages" database, "Heinz Conrad" Wiltz married Josephine Antoinette Pitard in 1853, but having seen the license certificate, “Heinz” here is a bad transcription of "Alcine" Conrad.
In the 1870 census, the HOH is "Elcini Wiltz" (M), aged 40:
Wiltz, Elcini, aged 40
---, Josephine, aged 39 (looks like "30" because the 9 is written with two strokes)
---, Elcini, 17
---, Lavinia, 9
---, Louise, 5
---, Norbert, 2 (looks like "21" because of a flourish)
"Elcini" should be "Alcine." Alcine Jr. and Lavinia and Norbert are the correct ages. Mary is missing; I assume she died young. See his wife about the Louis/Louise question.
The 1872 city directory includes an "A.C. Wiltz" living at 90 Bolivar.
On Oct. 10, 1874 appears an obit. for "A.C. Wiltz," which is most likely him, since the birth year and initials match up. The death record for the date, however, gives the name "Jean Baptiste A. Wiltz." I'd expect that maybe "Jean Baptiste" is the name of his father?
There was a Louis A. Wiltz (1843-81) who was mayor of NOLA in the 1860s. There are many Wiltzes in New Orleans and Louisiana. [3]
