Fellow Roots WEB researchers, My current research task is to identify the Bavarian town or village from which my late wife's maternal MEIDENBAUER ancestors migrated to Buffalo, NY USA. George MEIDENBAUER was born in Germany 8 July 1844. George MEIDENBAUER married Margaret DAUT in 1870 in Germany. George MEIDENBAUER migrated to USA in 1882. George was employed in Buffalo NY as a Tailor. George MEIDENBAUER declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States 13 October 1884 in Erie County Court in Buffalo, Erie County, NY USA. George MEIDENBAUER died 16 September 1919 at Buffalo NY USA. He was buried on 20 September 1919. Margaret DAUT was born Feb 1850 in Germany. She died 19 September 1911 at Buffalo NY USA. When George MEIDENBAUER was age 27 and Margaret (nee DAUT) MEIDENBAUER was age 21 they became the parents of Jacob MEIDENBAUER during September 1871 in Germany. Jacob MEIDENBAUER died 7 May 1916 at Erie County Hospital. He was buried on 9 May 1916. The MEIDENBAUERS were listed as residents in the US Federal census report, 19 June 1900, Buffalo, Erie Co., NY, USA. Their American born son, Frank MEIDENBAUER, identified his parents' birthplace as Bavaria on the 1920 US Federal census. However, I have not yet located any information identifying the specific Bavarian village in which George MEIDENBAUER and Margaret DAUT married and gave birth to their first-born son Jacob MEIDENBAUER. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Patrick M. LOFFT
