I was checking on the birth of Elizabeth Kaiffer to see if there was a source for her birth in 1723 -- to use as a GUESSTIMATION-- for the death of Johannes Thomas and remarriage of his widow. On the master page, she is listed as born in Germany. If she is the daughter of Anna Magdalena Blankenbaker Thomas, a birth in Germany is not possible. Is there anyone on these lists who can edit and correct this information. I don't want to mess with the lines other than Thomas because I don't have enough info to be comfortable with changing facts. Take care. Marilyn

I don't have a birthdate for Elizabeth Kaifer. Her husband, John Adam Garr, was born 24 November or December 1711 (Garr Genealogy, 61 date 24 Nov 1711, 62 date 24 Dec 1711) although that doesn't really mean anything. However they were married, according to "Second Germanna Colony of 1717," The Germanna Record #6, (June 1965): 28, before 5 February 1741. I don't have the book handy to check the reasoning behind this date. If she were, say at least 15, her birthdate was probably 1725 or earlier. Elizabeth's sister Dorothy Kaifer was probably born by 1730 as her first child (Michael "Big Mike" Clore) was born 4 December 1746. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gneolog@aol.com> To: <germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com>; <germans-va@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 10:23 AM Subject: [GERMANNA] Kaifer tree on the master page >I was checking on the birth of Elizabeth Kaiffer to see if there was a >source for her birth in 1723 -- to use as a GUESSTIMATION-- for the death >of Johannes Thomas and remarriage of his widow.

Marilyn, you are correct. I've changed my database and the Tree at Ancestry to reflect her birth in the Colonies.
