I am tring to find information on Samuel H. Gyer. He was my great grandfather. He was married to Margaret Ellen Boday Gleason. They lived in Indiana where my grandfather and three sisters were born. I would really appreciate any information you might have.

It looks like this is your first post. For you to get good information you need to provide more. This means including birth, marriage and death dates, and a city or county where he lived. Even an educated guess on dates can help. Also, it helps to post to the message board for the county they lived in.

Thanks so much for your guidance. My problem is I don't have/can't find any dates for birth, death or marriage of Samuel Gyer. The name Gyer is spelled so many different ways, I'm not sure which one is used for the events. I was hoping someone might have a lead. I do appreciate you replying to my inquiry, and yes, it was my first post.

Thank you for your reply. One of the trees is mine and I don't think the other is my relative. With Gyer being spelled so many different ways, I am hesitant to go in that direction. Thank you again for your reply.

Go to www.familysearch.org
Don't search on the first page, scroll down and click on United States, then choose individual databases

Ohio Deaths
Don't worry about the spelling, just put in Gyer, and it will find alternatives for you.

There is a marriage indexed for Samuel H. Gier and Maggie "Body" on July 29, 1881 in Definance Ohio

There are several marriages for children of Samuel Gyer and Margaret Boday in Seneca County Ohio. It looks like Ellen married several times.

In the Ohio deaths, there is one for Ellen, and one for a Samuel Geyer who died in 1927 in Seneca Ohio, who may be the correct one.

It looks like Margaret and Samuel may have separated, or Samuel died. In 1900 Margaret is remarried

1900 Census for Noble Township, Definance County, Ohio
William F. Cartney, age 50
Margaret E. Cartney, age 48
Florence V. Cartney, age 4
Nellie M. Gyer, age 13, Step daughter
Vidia Gyer, age 9, step daughter

There is also a Samuel Geyer of the right age in the census, listed as single.

Have fun searching!
