Not born in France, she was born in Frankerchamps, Belgium.
Her sister, Marie-Josephine Dohogne (20 March 1832-23 June 1928) Wed Philip Meuller (Miller) was also from Frankerchamps, Belg., not France as some list her. Moved to Wisconsin. I have the Church records to back that up, by the way. Charles Dohogne
