Surname: KIEFFER, HILL, MEISBERGER, MILLER, TAMME, BOBERG
-------------------------
Our George KIEFFER immigrated in 1845 per the 1910 census. I have not found
him in the passenger list to know if there were other family who came with
him. He marries Celestine Stark about 1855 possibly in Cincinnatti, Ohio
as this is where the first child is born and we have George in the 1850
census in Cincin. They eventually end up in the Ripley County, Indiana
area about 1858 as this is when one of their children is born in the Holton
area. The older children stated as born in Ohio. I have no idea who his
parents are or where in Alsace-Loraine he came from. I'm still looking
though. If this sounds like anything you have let me know. Thanks and apologize
for taking so long to answer.
