What year was Jacob KLEINDIENST born in? Was Jacob born in Germany or in NYS, which would be helpful in my search. What approximate years were they in Rochester? I have found that the surname has a variant spelling.

Hi Zona, From what I have from a descendant and various listers from the Monroe List is that Jacob KLEINDIENST was born in Bavarian in 1824, came to the US in 1843 and married (Mary) Magdalene ROHR(ER) in 1848. Their first child would seem to have been a girl Magdalena but she doesn't appear after 1860. The family were recorded in Niagara in 1860 - Jacob was 35, a blacksmith and from Germany, while his wife Magdalena (written with a C rather than a G) was 36 and from France. All the children were born in New York State - Magdalena, Charles, Catherine, Julia, Henry and Louisa (who died in Buffalo in 1877, according to Mt. Hope Cemetery records). By 1870 Jacob and family were in Rochester but now his wife is Margaret, aged 41 and from Baden - no daughter Magdalena and a new 1 month old Libbie. With them is Charles F. SIES (I have also found SEIS) who was 18. I presume Margaret had been married to a Mr. SIES (SEIS) before marrying Jacob. Records at Mt. Hope Cemetery have her as Margaret SEIS. I presume Louisa was the last child born to Magdalena and that she must have died between 1860 and 1870. I have further records on the family in Rochester - various Census Reports and marriages. Jacob descendant thought that Margaret and Magdalena were the same person until I was sent a copy of the 1860 Census Report plus a reference about one of his daughters which stated the mother was born in France and not Baden. Marriage records from Rochester state that the mother of Catherine, Julia and Henry was Magdalena or Lena ROHR or ROHRER. Concerning where the KLEINDIENST family were in Rochester, the address would seem to be 65 Orchard Street. If you come across anything on the ROHR(ER), SEIS (SIES) or KLEINDIENST family in the Buffalo area I would be very grateful.
