A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Martha Jane Trivelpiece
The Fenstermacher/Reese/Forney/Watts Family Tree lists her as Martha Jane Travelpiece, but a descendant lists her as Martha J. Trivelpiece at https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/75326302/person/260193563238/facts. The birth certificate of Blanche Fenstermacher (on Ancestry.com, Pennsylvania Birth Certificates 1906-1910) shows her mother as Martha J. Trivelpiece. On the other hand, Martha's own death certificate (also from Ancestry.com) shows her father as Joseph Tribelbis. Find a Grave lists her as Martha Jane Trivelpiece Fenstermacher, but shows her father as Joseph Driblebis / Trivelpiece and her grandfather as Joseph Dreibelbis. So this is a matter of how to Americanize a German name.
