Thank you for the reply. My great grandfather Frank Gaier was born in Austria in 1869. They came to America about 1900. My great grandmother was Anna Breit born 1873. Their children were: Laura Born 1895 (the Mormon website lists her birth site as Vienna Austria) Charles born about 1891 (Austria) and Christine and Frank born in the United States.

Grandpa always said that they lived in a house with the barn connected. The village they lived in didn't really have a name--the inhabitants of the village were all related and they walked to the next village to go to school. He also said that they lived so close to the German border that the cows were pastured in Germany but the house was in Austria.

Before WWII Grandpa still received letters from his relatives in the old country but all of those were destroyed and we have no record of addresses etc.

Will let you know if I get any further information.

Double checking messages today. Were you ever able to find the parents of Frank Gaier? My ggranfather, Alois named a son Frank, so I wondered if it was a name in their same families, generations back? It seemed like in Germany people carried on the same names in future children. any help? thanks, Darlene
