What a difference three years makes. Christian M. Ueffinger was born in Prussia and imagrated to New York City in 1870. His parents were Christian and margaret Ueffinger. My great grandmother was Lissette Kuemmel Ueffinger. Her parents were August and Elizabeth Dietz Kuemmel. She was also born in prussia. Christian became a naturalized citizen in New York City 1875. My grandfather Justus (later changed to justin) M. Ueffinger(later changed to Uffinger) was born in 1871. A daughter, Bertha Ueffinger Guertel, was born in 1879. Christian worked as a cigar packer until his death in jersey City, New Jersey in 1915. Lissette preceeded him in death in 1914. I am still trying to find out the village in Prussia where they were born! My pot of gold at the end of the genealogy rainbow!
