Some of you may want to try "brouseing" the online IGI. Looking at their information COULD introduce some names to study... folks that MIGHT be your ancestor. To further explain... usually the parents named one of the sons after the father or after the grandfather. Try experimenting with different given names to see what you can find. You can change the settings on the online IGI to produce different results. In my most recent sleuthing, I wanted to look for all Johannes KEIMs, b. in PA between 1759 and 1799. There were lots of hits and I found some Johanneses we've never seen mentioned on this list. Sometimes you find something just by playing around with these online searches. Try it!

Some of you do volunteer work at the Family History Centers.... I have a question on the IGI. Today, searching the online FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v4.01, I found NEW info for Conrad and Anna Maria Keim's family. It showed: Johannes Jacob KEIM Birth: 26 Aug 1761 Berks, Pennsylvania Parents: Father: Conrad KEIM Mother: Anna Maria THE PROBLEM: In looking at my microfiche copies of the KEIMs, I find NO listing for such a person. How can the two versions differ in information? Might the online version be a NEWER one that what I copied at my local library? HELP!!!!!!

Jan: What is your source data for Samuel Henry Keim's mother being Elizabeth Geiger? I have not been able to find a reliable source for the marriage order, but have noted in my database: "George had 2 wives: Elizabeth GHEER/GIER/GEIR/GEIGER and Elizabeth MUSSELMAN. It is not known in which order that they were married, or who had which children. We can presume that George was married to Elizabeth Musselman bef 1776 (There was a George Musselman KEIM b. in 1776). My thought on the order of marriage is that George Married Elizabeth Musselman 1st and Elizabeth GHEER 2nd. My reasoning is this: George receives the KEIM homestead in 1762. He leaves the estate to his wife Elizabeth when he dies aft. 6/1807. The KEIM burial plot where Johannes (b 1675) is buried is noted as being on the GHEER farm in 1894." Also, Bollerin is feminine in German for Boller -----Original Message----- From: Jan Keim [mailto:hankjan@mstar2.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 9:38 PM To: KEIM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KEIM] Keim generations Here is my husband's Keim line: His grandfather - Ira Otto Keim - b: 1877 - d: 1967 Indiana s/o Constantine Schular Keim - b: 1843 PA - d: 1927 Indiana s/o Samuel Keim - b: 1810 PA - d: 1875 Indiana s/o Samuel Henry Keim - b: 1769 PA - d: 1843 PA s/o George Keim - b: 1733 PA - 1st wife Elizabeth Geiger s/o Johannes Hans Keim - b: 1675 Germany - d: 1753 PA 2nd wife Mary Elizabeth Bollerin s/o Johann Keim - b: 1647 Germany s/o Ludwig Hercourt Keim Jan Keim hankjan@mstart2.net ==== KEIM Mailing List ==== Perhaps the best place to start your search.....

When I double checked on it, at first I thought I was losing my mind, however, I think my thought process was that her first marriage was to a REITZEL and I do not know her maiden name. Generally, I put maiden names in my data even if I have previous marriage surnames. Am I wrong?
