Hello 62.47.130.139. I'm puzzled here -- can you specify your source for this? Here is a source, H. C. Robbins Landon, that says five kids:
In 1789, Haydn began the well-known correspondence with Maria Anna von Genzmger. 1 Her husband, Peter Leopold von Genzinger, was a popular "Ladies' Doctor", whom the Empress Maria Theresia had raised to the nobility in 1780; in 1792, he became Rector of the Vienna Hochschule. For many years before that, he had been Physician in Ordinary to Prince Nicolaus Esterhazy, in which capacity Haydn must have become friendly with him. Genzinger 's wife, Maria Anna Sabina (1750-1793) was the daughter of Joseph von Kayser, Prince Batthyam's Court Councillor, and Maria Anna, nee von Hackher zu Hart, an old Austrian aristocratic family. She seems to have married Genzinger about 1772 and subsequently bore him five children, three boys and two girls.
Robbins Landon certainly never saw Haan's Regesten or checked the church records of the Schotten parish. He simply copied the wrong information from the old literature. The Genzingers had six children.--Suessmayr (talk) 18:16, 18 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the sourced edits you just provided. Could you also please source the diagnosis of "lung ulcer" for Mrs. Genzinger's fatal disease? Thanks, Opus33 (talk) 00:22, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

"According to Robbins Landon (1959, xxi), Mrs. Genzinger had trouble with German spelling; her orthography was "several grades more appalling than Haydn's". This is absurd. There was no "German spelling" in the 18th century!--Suessmayr (talk) 18:53, 18 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
