Hi Gerry, No, you are not all alone on this list but I was wondering the same thing. LOL I am searching for George Seibert (Sibert) b-abt 1800 Germany, m Elizabeth b-1794 Germ. Son Philip Siebert b-1836 PA, m1 Mary Opliger and m2 Catharine Hartmann b-1839 Nassau. Both marriages took place in Monroe Co., IL. My great grandmother was daughter of Philip. Margret,(Margaretha) Seibert was married to Henry Seibert. She was in St. Louis, Mo. prior to 1892 and widowed sometime between Sept. 1899 and May, 1900. If any of this sounds familiar please let me know. Thank you and would love to share what info I have.
