Hi there,
I have Gescheidt lineage in my family going back to CHARLES AUGUST GESCHEIDT (born January 19, 1850 in Castleton Corners, Staten Island, New York). According to the information I have he married several times, though I don't seem to have any information on those other marriages or other children. Eventually he married AUGUSTE CHARLOTTE WAUTTKEY (born August 2, 1855 in Behren, German/Bavaria?). She, too, had been previously married and had a daughter, HELEN SOPER. No further info. To Charles & Auguste were born:

1. OLGA GESCHEIDT. Never married. She died after many years suffering witha degenerative nerve disease in a rest home in Palo Alto, California. This is all the info I have on her.

2. HENRY JULIUS GESCHEIDT (born September 23, 1893 on Staten Island, New York) married MURIEL MC BRIDE (MAC BRIDE?). The marriage was annulled. He then married ASTRID FLORENCE CORNELIA OKERLUND (born March 24, 1902 in St. Marks Place, Brooklyn, New York) on June 26, 1923. To them was born:

A. ROYAL ARTHUR CHARLES GESCHEIDT (born April 22, 1924 in New York City). He was my grandfather.

Sometime around 1934/35 HENRY changed the family name from the German GESCHEIDT to its approximate English equivalent SAGE.

Any further help on this lineage that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Laura (Sage) Ruiz
