Surnames: Geringhardt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gAB.2ACI/1961.1 Message Board Post: Angela, How certain are you of the name Geringhardt. I have found a Maria Pelstring, whose maiden name was Harengert according to the death notice in the German language newspaper called the Cincinnati Volksfreund. Unfortunately the death notice does not list survivors by name. It only says "our mother and mother-in-law. Maria was 46 years old when she died on Wednesday, January 08, 1890. She lived at 805 Main Street in Covington and was buried from Mother of God Church in Covington. I will try to follow up on this death notice in the records of Mother of God church and see if they contain any further information or if I can find any baptisms for Pelstrings about 20 years before this date.
