Hello. I don't know if you're still interested in Gottlieb Krichbaum, or if you are even still on Ancestry.com. My grandmother was Margaret Krichbaum Hornbrook 2/19/1878 - 7/20/1972. Born in Hessen (Essen) Dormstadt Germany, came to America in 1881 or 1882 when she was about 4 years old. She had an older brother, Gottleib Krichbaum, who liv ed in Rock Springs Wyoming. I think he was a coal miner, wife Mary, had several (12?) children, reportedly very tall. At some point Lemont, Pennsylvania was listed, but not known if they lived there or not. Soon after Margaret,, her parents,Philip K. and Anna Hoffart Krichbaum, and several siblings got to America, mother Anna died and dad Philip had to put some of the younger children (or at least one of them, my grandma Margaret,) in an orphanage -- in Marwood, PA according to her daughter, my Aunt Margaret. I have a bit more information on her, but cannot find anything on Gottleib. Phillip died in 1903 and is buried in Pennsylvania. Do you have any information? Love to hear from you.
