Thanks to some wonderful people, Mary Miller at the historical society (and others there) and also to Dave Bobenrieth, they were able to discover that: George Geitner was b. 1814 in Wilfershofen, Bavaria Germany and died April 1, 1884 and buried in St Marys cemetery. !!!! HIs wife Elizabeth's death has not been found yet, but they will find it another day I am sure. I just wanted to say many many many Many THANKS to all of you who have done some searching for me. I know it is timeconsuming and I greatly appreciate all your help. Ginny
