There must have been the family name BLISS, because two of Anna Reckert's
grandchildren have bible pages with the name BLISS in them,
and Frederick BLISS is in two of the censuses.
Following are views from a bible in the possession of her granddaughter Murphy: Bible, View 1, View 2, View 3, View 4
Sabina's father was probably Michael KOBERLEIN. here are views of his Mug1, Mug2, Mug3
Joseph RECKERT and Sabina KOBERLEIN were married in 1886 and had the following children:
Anna Maria RECKERT, born 2 July 1887, passed away on 22 October 1970
William RECKERT, born about 1891
Joseph J. RECKERT, born about 1895
Mae RECKERT, born about 1898
a daughter RECKERT, died in infancy, prior to 1900 census.
From the 1900 census we find the family living at 267 Harris Avenue, Queens, New York, with Michael KOBERLEIN, 78, born April 1828 in Germany, as were his parents. He arrived in the USA in 1853. His daughter Savina, age 42, born March 1858 in New York, her husband Joseph RECKERT, age 39, born February 1861, a Tin Smith, Frederick BLISS, son, age 26, born Nov 1873, a P.D Officer(actually born 10 November 1872), Annie RECKERT, age 12, William RECKERT, age 10, Joseph J RECKERT, age 4, May RECKERT, age 2, and William Zimmerman, age 32, a boarder & Tin Smith.
From the 1910 census we find this family living in Queens, New York, Queens Ward 1. Joseph is 52, and married for 24 years, born in New York and his parents were born in New York. It looks like his occupation is a General Clerk in an Oil Factory. His wife is 54, born in New York and her parents were born in Germany. She is the mother of 5 children, 4 of them living. The children are Anna, age 23, a stenographer in the Real Estate industry, William is 19, a lighter, electricity, Joseph is age 15 and Mae is age 12. Also in the family is a nephew, Fred BLISS, age 39, a policeman, born in New York, his father born in New York and his mother born in Germany.
