Biography
Mathilde was born in 1879 in Germany. She married Isidor Dreyfuss and they had a daughter, Claire.
Mathilde traveled to the United States, probably between 1936 and 1940 (see Notes).
Mathilde died in 1963 in Fall River, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States and is buried in the Beth El Cemetery, Fall River, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States.
Notes
No record of Mathilde's immigration has been found, but her husband was imprisoned and killed in an extermination camp in 1936, so it is presumed that she was still in Germany until that date. Mathilde's grandson, Ernest Picard, was born in Germany in 1930 and Mathilde's daughter Claire was living in the United States with her husband and children in 1940,[1] therefore Claire and her family immigrated sometime in the 1930's, although no record of their immigration has been found. It seems likely that Mathilde traveled with them.

The database error report wants to correct the birth place name from Deitschland to Deutschland. I am not as familiar with this area, so I wanted to to see if this correction seemed accurate. Thank you!
