Surnames: Geuther
A group of Geuther descendants are going to meet in Germany for the first time in September with the intention to exchange information on our various branches, and hopefully find connections between them. Some have researched their roots into the 15th Century.
So far most of our ancestors come from the area around Coburg/Sonneberg/Kronach in Germany.
If you would like me to check on your Geuther ancestors while participating in this meeting, please email me.

Update on the meeting in Germany. About 60 people participated. A lot of information on various branches of the Geuther tree was collected and put into a family tree maker format.
The oldest recorded ancestor was a Hempell Geuder (1490) in Malmerz by Sonneberg. Many of the living Geuthers can trace their line to this particular ancestor.
In the meantime I have been able to connect 2 American branches with their respective relatives in Germany.
One is the Johann George Geuther, who came to US in 1848 and settled in Illinois, the other is Adam and Henry Geuther who came in 1850 and settled mostly in Illinois. The grand plan is to get in touch with all living Geuthers in USA and connect them with the original tree in Germany. My email is ggeuter@yahoo.co.in.
Please contact me for exchange information. The next big Geuther meeting will take place in 2007.
