Posted on: Austin County, Tx Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Austin?read=368 Surname: GEBERT, KIEKE, HARLITZKE ------------------------- My grandmother was Emma Matilda Gebert Kieke. She was born in New Ulm, Austin County, Tx. June 8, 1885. Her HIB Social Security Form list her father as John-Gebert and Frances Harlitzke of Austin County. In the 1900 Texas Census,I found John Gebert born Sept. 1849 in Germany. His wife is Franziska born Sept.1855 in Texas. The children are Wilhelm born May 1882 in Texas; Rudolf born March 1884 in Texas; Emma born June 1885 in Texas; Louise born May 1889 in Texas; and Arthur born Feb.1894 in Texas. I believe Arthur to be Adolph my Grandmother talked about. I am trying to find any information on the family I can. I think the name Harlitzke was how my Grandmother was spelling the way it sounded to her. The census said the family were from the Cat Springs area. I think there is a small old church with a cemetery to the right of it where her mother or her Grandmother may be buried. This may be in New Ulm-Cat Springs area. Emma Gebert married Herbert Wilhelm Kieke Feb. 9,1915. Herbert was the son of Adolph Lorenz Kieke from Washington County.
