Jennifer,

Stephen Christopher Knieriem was my gg grandfather.Here is the info I have:

Christopher b. 10/9/1833 d. 1/7/1892 Born in Hessen Kassel, Germany
Married Ara Deen 9/6/1863

Ara Deen b. 1/30/1840 d. 4/4/1910

Their Children:

Mary C. b. 1865?
Married Frederick Keilman 2/5/1884
Michael b. 1/17/1866 d. 4/16/1944
Married Sophronia E. Blakeburn 4/27/1890
Katherine G. b. 1868?
John H b. 1869 d. 1937
Married Mary D. Thompson
Martin L. b. May 1872
Jacob D. b. June 1875 d. 3/22/1958
Ernst J. b. June 1879 d. 6/29/1941
James W. b. 1877
Elizah A. b. 3/1883 d. 3/25/1931

I am so glad to hear from some one doing the same family. It has been so frustrating. This is as far back as I have been able to go for now. I have info on other Knieriem's but haven't made any connections yet. Hope to hear from you again.

P.S. Christopher, John H., Jacob D., Ernst J, & Elizah A. are buried in German Ridge Cemetery in Perry County.
