Research notes for Joe

Regarding DOB...
According to SD Birth Rebords...
Anton and Lena had...

Reinhart Kuhle 9 May 1904
Anna Kuhle 7 Nov 1905 - Aug 1910
Henry Kuhle 17 Apr 1907
Anton Kuhle 9 Jan 1909
Frank Kuhle 18 Jun 1913 - 1913
Anna Kuhle 28 Nov 1916 - I'm not sure who this is, but cemetery records show an Ellanora Kuhle b. 1916 and d. 1918 in the family plot. This would fit with the census records as well.

1910 Census Shows Children
John - 8 - No birth record found
Reinhart - 6 - MATCH
Anna - 4 - MATCH
Joseph - 3 - MATCH FOR HENRY
Tony - 1 - MATCH (for Anton)

1920 Census Shows Children
John - 17 - Match to 1910
Reinhart - 15 - Match to both
Joseph H - 13 - Match to Henry
Toney H - 10 - Match to Anton

1930 Census Shows Children of Lena (Anton the father died in 1925)
Joseph H - 22 - Match
Anton H - 20 - Match

I'm pretty confident that Joseph Francis Kuhle was born 17 Apr 1907 and listed in the SD Birth Records as HENRY and on census records as JOSEPH H, then later went by JOSEPH FRANCIS.

Although, all this is exacerbated by the WWII Draft Card which list DOD as 27 Apr 1907...
