I posted some months ago about the Gosiger family of Cincinnati, Ohio I
believe the German spelling of the last name is different prior to their
immigration to Ohio. . I received some replies which provided additional
information. I now have newspaper postings written in German about the
family from announcements found in the Cincinnati Volksfreund newspaper.
These posting were found at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC USA.
According to the newspaper death announcement, Friedrich Joseph Gosiger was
born in Steinfeld, Oldenburg on May 9, 1817. According to a US census, his
mother was born around 1776 and the Cincinnati Volksfreund lists her full
name as Antonette Caroline Regina Gosiger and maiden name as Flo� or (Flosz)
I believe this may be where she was born. I do not have any information
on Friedrich's father or siblings.
I have German newspaper clippings about the family I can scan and send if
someone is kindly willing to offer their assistance in translating the
German announcements to English.
Sincerely,
Katherine Gosiger
