Do you know who your Edward Keck's parents were? My ancestor is Eliza J. Keck, b. 8 Feb 1822, d. 9 Aug 1914. She married Edward Seiple, and they moved to Niles, OH sometime in the early 1860's. Eliza's father was Johan Peter Keck, b. 10 Dec 1771 in Northampton Co. PA, d. 5 Apr 1843 in Mercer Co., PA. Her mother was Christina Smith (1776-1872). I would love to hear from any Keck "cousins," and if anybody has any information on Christina Smith, wife of Johan Peter Keck, I would be very interested in learning more about her! --Steve Seiple sseiple@compuserve.com
