  • Stymied by Stiglers: Solved Using Indirect Evidence with Teresa Steinkamp McMillin, CG(SM)

    • 16 February 2022
    • 7:00 PM - 8:45 PM
    • Virtual Meeting
    Register

    German immigrant, Christina Stigler, arrived in the United States with her sister in 1874. Other Germans with her surname lived near her, alternating between Cincinnati and Iowa. No United States sources name a town of origin for any of these individuals. A current descendant’s DNA match suggests a district in Bavaria for the Stiglers origins. Emigration records, historic gazetteers, and church records provide indirect evidence to find Christina’s town of birth.

    The Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants around 1 month prior to the Program.

    A handout will be emailed to all registrants 1 day before the Program.
