Re: Anna Steinmetz - Ohio

Patricia;

Reference your search for Anna Steinmetz. She was born 2 Aug 1842 in Niederkorn, Differdange, Luxembourg. She married Peter Kettenmeyer on 18 May 1866 in St. Bonifas Catholic Church, New Riegel, Seneca, Ohio. She died 2 Sep 1906 in Evansville, Vandenburgh, Indiana. Peter was born 27 Mar 1837 in Niederkorn, and died 20 Oct 1922 at Evansvile.

The families knew each other in Niederkorn, and immigrated in the mid 1840s (ship's record not found) and settled directly in New Riegel, along with some other families from Niederkorn; the Hummer and Huss families.

Anna and Peter had 10 children.

If you are interested, I have information which takes both the Steinmetz and Kettenmeyer families back further, and can take the Steinmetzes back three more generations. Anna was the daughter of Pierre "Peter" Steinmetz and Maria Hummer, and I can carry the Hummers back three more generations as well.
