There is a Schwaiger in Munich, Germany, perhaps it is a part of that area.

I am trying to figure out the town name that is my great great grandfather's birthplace. It is written on his marriage record in New York. It looks like the word Schweigerschrot in Sachsen-Meinengen. On Census records, his father claimed to be from Sachsen-Coburg, Thuringen. Can anyone take a guess where my gr-gr grandfather was born? I can't find it on any map. Similar looking names but not Schweigerschrot.

My German Surnames are: Borneman, Kruse, Pannebakker, Pennebaker, Pfannebecker, Ruby, Seidensticker, Seitz, Sellen and Wasson.
My Great Grandfather was Frederick Seidensticker(1867) from Hanover, Germany. I have been trying got 5 years to find other Seidenstickers, and met one family online, but we couldn't prove a connection. My Great Grandmother, Terese Kruse(1866) immgrated to USA from Germany in 1889.
I don't have any living Family members left to help me with research, and I am intimidated when trying to research online. Any suggestions would be most welcomed!

I too have german running through my family right back to this famous person Johann Adolf Hasse and soprano Faustina Bordoni and beyond and has just celebrated his 300th birthday and his castle still stands today, so I am a very lucky person to be related to him via my mothers tree.
The other people that I mixed up with through my grand mother are the "Aufderheide's"of Sth Australia. that is a different story trying to find all of that family, but you never know there just maybe that one or two persons out there who have that little bit more info that you need .

Kathleen:
My ancestors from Alsace were Catholic. Photos from cemeteries have headstones in German and French. The cousin I communicate with there is French, speaks French. A lot of the ancestors on his side of the family were German speaking. So it gets very confusing!
I found my Brodts, others I have never found and yet we are pretty sure they didn't swim.........just beamed over by the mother ship I guess!
On the census, my ggrandmother listed as French, her parents listed as German, that is why I checked the Alsace area.
