The assumption would be that Elizabeth left it to one of her family (brother etc.) I suppose that the records could be searched to determine how the land passed down from 1807 to 1894. -----Original Message----- From: Cindy [mailto:ckimes@mvillage.com] Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2001 12:50 PM To: KEIM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [KEIM] Keim generations SOURCE INFO QUESTION Jeff Reimert wrote: > > What is your source data for Samuel Henry Keim's mother being Elizabeth > Geiger?

Randolph Keim's "KEIM & Allied Families in America and Europe (K & AF)," originally publ. Reading/Harrisburg, PA; December 1898 - Jan 1900: p. 4. Also another note posted by a former subscriber to this list: "Johannes was buried on son Nicholas's farm, now the Gheer Farm on Oley Line." I don't own a copy of "KEIM & Allied Families in America and Europe (K & AF)" so can't check to see what the exact wording is, if not as stated above! Cindy
