I posted the following query on GenConnect October 14 and have had no responses. Further, I am not sure as to the accuracy of the information I provided. Can anyone help me as to where the name Gieritz originates in Germany? (I am not even sure of the spelling) Frederick Gieritz born Berlin about 1844 and Clara vonKurtz Gieritz emigrated to New York City about 1884 - 1886 with children holder, Adolphe, Mamie, Berlice, Clara. Thank you, Bill
