Hi, as a new participant of this mailing list, you may allow posting my searched name(s) and my problem. So, I am looking for emigrated persons with the name Geser, Geeser, Geiser, Geisser, Gaser, Gasser, Gazer, Gaiser, Gassier. First, I have a Benedict Geser born 1819 in Southern Germany as a member of my Geser-line. He emigrated definitely to the U.S., assumably between 1851 and 1854. His Father was Carl Geser and spouse Anna Maria Schwarz. Second, I have a Benedict Geser to be found in Milwaukee City directories between 1854/55 till 1864 - after this year no traces could be found in Milwaukee. Third, I have a Benedict Geser to be found in the 1860 US Federal Census Record for Milwaukee, his home region is Wurttemberg. Also noted are his son Carl, aged 6 and his daughter Carolin, aged 5, both born in Wisconsin, and the spouse of Benedict named Barbra Beier, aged 32 and with the home region Hesse-Darmstadt. In the 1870 Federal Census Record there is no Benedict Geser neither for Wisconsin nor for other states to be found. Fourth, I have a Benedict Gasser to be found in the 1890 US Census Veterans Schedule, living in Pleasant Hill Township, Clackamas County, Oregon. Fifth, I have a Carl Gaiser, death certificate #3763, died 11 Dec 1938, Portland County, Oregon. Sixth, I have a Carl F. Gaiser, no certificate number, died 27 Apr 1944, Portland County, Oregon. Is there a connection of all of this persons? or at least of some of them? I would appreciate any help and assist. Greetings from Germany. Rudolf Geser Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany
