Anna Simon; 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: Week 8

For this week's ancestor bio I picked Anna Simon who married Josef Eger; younger brother to my great great grandfather Georg Eger.  Tante Anna was picked because of the number of children that she and Josef had.  I believe that I have another ancestor in my database who had more children than Anna but I just cannot remember her name at the moment.

Anna Simon was born on 05 February 1873 in Trausnitz in the German state of Bayern after Bismarck's unification of all German states into the country of Deutschland.  She married Josef Eger who was born on 09 February 1870 in Trausnitz also.  They were married on 08 October 1895 and had the following children.
