[edit] Klara's genealogical relationship to Alois

Klara's grandfather, Johann Nepomuk Hiedler, was her future husband's step-uncle: Either Johann or his brother were likely Alois' biological father.

She never got out of the habit of thinking of Alois as her uncle, even though they were now officially second cousins, and even after they were married she still called him "Uncle".

If Klara's grandfather, Johann, was the father of Alois, Alois was her uncle. If Klara's grandfather's brother was the father or Alois, they were cousins.

[edit] Correction from 68.89.149.2 17:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added these subheaders to clarify who wrote what (I've spent a lot of time reading the manual of style without finding any information about vertical spacing which would help a whole lot right here)
  • If Klara's grandfather, Johann Nepomuk, was the father of Alois, Alois was her uncle.
  • If Klara's grandfather's brother, Johann Georg, was the father of Alois, Alois and Klara were first cousins once removed.
In neither case could they be second cousins.

[edit] Wikipedia:Words to avoid

I would guess most death is painful. However, checking Wikipedia:Words to avoid will show that even though Klara Hitler's experience with breast cancer may have been painful, it doesn't need to be in the article.

Klara's death was particularly painful and prolonged, was witnessed by her two children and given the notability of one of her offspring, encyclopedic. Gwen Gale 02:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be cited then? Brandonrush 14:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes it should be cited but the information is accurate and verifiable. Meanwhile your addition of the citation request was helpful IMHO. By the bye, I've read it myself in I don't know how many sources, I know it's in Toland. Gwen Gale 02:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Brandonrush 18:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Only going from my own memory of something I read years ago (which has been jogged further), her breast cancer was treated with direct applications of something called idoform (or a name like that) which was reportedly very painful in itself, which may be why the account in the article makes a notable mention of pain. Gwen Gale 03:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I would imagine it was painful back then, considering it still would be now. I didn't know the complete story, though. Brandonrush 19:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Children

Surely Klara and Alois also had other children than Adolf? At least Paula Hitler should be mentioned. JIP | Talk 20:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

The article already reads. Klara had six children. Only two of them, Adolf and Paula, survived childhood... There were at least two or three who died as babies, one was named Edmund I think, the names and dates should be easy to find. Gwen Gale (talk) 21:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
The infobox only names Adolf. JIP | Talk 05:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I've added them all. I see there are articles for the four children who died. These should most likely be deleted. Gwen Gale (talk) 05:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
