Hi you lonely people!
Been looking for Adam STEIGER who showed up with family on the 1850 federal
census in Bridgeport, Conn., Fairfield County. He was some relation to my g-
father Matthew Steiger. Adam was a sash and blind maker and later operated a
lager saloon and as such appears in the City Directories from 1865-1873. Born
in Germany. I suspect in the town of Laubenheim, Archdiocese of Mainz where a
person of his name appears as a father of the bride. That set of church
records are in very bad shape and difficult to read. Poor or missing copies.
I would like to find birth, marriage, death, burial, etc. documentation of he
and/or his children. Probably catholic. Wife Mary, sons William and John,
one daughter.I have found my grandfather living nearby in 1872-73, occupation
Clerk (probably in the saloon) after his dad and mother died in NY State
(Manhattan.) Please list. Thanks for jogging us to write. Gramabop.
