Surnames: Vaeth/Vaith/Veith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zJB.2ACE/2066.1.1 Message Board Post: Anton Joseph Vaeth was born about 7-20-1823 and his wife, Catherine nee Grieshaber Vaeth was born 12-28-1836. She died in St. Joseph around 1906. According to the 1880 Census Records, Center, Buchanan County, Missouri, Anton and Catherine had several children. Perhaps the name is spelled Vaith or Veith. But, Anton's brother, spelled his name Vaeth and they did not move to Buchanan County. They stayed in Ste. Genevieve County, MO. I have seen people change the spelling of their name when they move out of the Ste. Genevieve County area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
