Surnames: Gegenheimer, Bates Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1VB.2ACE/11431 Message Board Post: Seeking any information on Friederick (Fredric) Gegenheimer and family. Was able to locate them on 1880 census records in Florence township but other than that, I have found very little through online sources. Friederick was born around 1835 in Baden Germany. Married Elizabeth Willich (Wildlich?) of Hesse. Children were August (b.1864), Maria (b.1866), John Conrad (b.1869) and Anna Barbara (b. 1874) Anna married Earl A. Bates, son of Jefferson D. Bates, possibly in Birmingham in 1894. They had 4 daughters, Nora, Neva, Nina and Nola. Nola, my GGrandmother, married Anthony Elbert in 1928. All of the Gegenheimer children I believe were born in Erie County. I have found references through family papers of them being in Florence, Vermillion, Brownhelm, Berlin and Birmingham. I have found several other Gegenheimers in the area and would also be interested as to what their link is to my particular branch, if any.
