Family Rosina MCGONIGAL, b. 1817, , Cork, Munster, Ireland , d. Aft 1880 (Age 64 years)

Married 3 Jun 1844 Mobile, Mobile, Alabama, USA [9, 10]

George's letter says that Henri and Rosina were married in 1841. I found a marriage record in Mobile for Henry and Rosanna McGonigal on June 3, 1844 and believe this to be our ancestors. I can't imagine why they had no children for so long unless the babies died.

Children

	1. James Henry RICKERT, b. 8 Jun 1846, , , Alabama, USA , d. 4 Mar 1885, , , Alabama, USA (Age 38 years)
