Surnames: Chronster, Parker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GBC.2ACE/28.1 Message Board Post: My grandfather was Amos Cifers, born in Acron, Ohio about 1886. Married Sadie Chronster. Had seven children, Beulah, Lola, Kate, Nancy, James, Willie, and Oscar. Re-located to SC in early 1900's. His father was James Harvey Cifers, married to ?Lizzie Parker. I have just started researching this side of the family and haven't had much luck. My mother thinks Cifers is an Irish name but I can't find any proof of that at all. Hope you can enlighten me. Thanks!
