Families
KIEFFER-RITT - George Ferdinand KIEFFER and Gertrude RITT, 1812
- Married 23-Sep-1812 in Forstheim
- George Ferdinand KIEFFER
- Born 24-Jun-1790 in Woerth
- Son of George KIEFFER and Barbe DUBIG of Woerth
- Gertrude RITT
- Born 15-Oct-1790? in Forstheim
- The year of birth given in her marriage record
appears to be "1790", but the "0" has an ink blot on it.
The baptism records of Forstheim appear to be missing,
so I have not been able to confirm this date.
I did check the baptism records for 1791,
and did not find Gertrude RITT baptized in that year.
