BIEGGER / LENTSCH; DEU> IA,USA; c. 1850 Hi, I'm new to the list.... I am researching the BIEGGER family - was told that John BIEGGER was born (in 1850) on a boat on his was to USA from Germany. I have not yet located the ship list. He married Mary NINEAU. Their son, Anton John BIEGGER was born in Livermore, Iowa in 1878. He married Katharine S. LENTSCH- {b. 1882} (parents Urban LENTSCH & Eva SCLUTZNER). At this time, I am assuming German heritage for most of them. Both families were settled in Livermore, Iowa at the time of Anton John BIEGGER and Katharine LENTSCH births. Was also told that it was not common for the German name to have 2-g's as in our spelling of BIEGGER - can anyone comment on this? Thank you... Kim [email protected]
