Re: keffer/keiffers PA middleton area

I found a Ralph, the right age and right place in the 1900 census.

John & Lovenia Kieffer of Royalton, Dauphin, PA, have the following children:
Minnie (married Martin Kaemmerer)
John
Ralph
Jennie
Dora
Calvin

John is from Germany and it appears Lovenia is his second wife, since she is married only 6 years. So, Lovenia is likely the mother of only the last three children.

In 1910 their surname is spelled Keiffer.
In the 1920 census, Lovenia is widowed, but still living in Royalton Twp, spelled Keiffer.
