Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2600 Surname: Siefer ------------------------- There is a William Seifer aged 32 married to an Elizabeth aged 32 listed in the 1870 Sandy Creek Township, Venango County, PA census. This might be Siefer as my ggrandmother's family was also listed as Seifer although their name was Siefer. If he is related to my branch, his father may have been Michael who was born in Germany around 1797. Clara and Catherine are both common names in my family.
