Jacob & Anna Yaeger (Jaeger) New York City or Buroughs 1870+

Jacob & Anna Yaeger (Jaeger) New York City or Buroughs 1870+

I posted previously in this Yaeger forum information that turns out not to be my Yaegers. The Kansas Yaegers I posted are no relation to me. I am still looking for my Yaegers prior to my great grandfather in Texas. According to his death record my great grandfather, Jacob Perry Yaeger , was the son of Jacob Perry and Annah (Buehler?)Jaeger. My Jacob was in Texas c.1882. He was born in Germany, 1861 and was naturalized in 1866 according to census records. Come on Jaeger/Yaeger cousins! Lets find our ancestors!

Sorry to disagree but I think that you are related to the Kansas Jaegers. Jacob Perry II had a brother Wendel. Wendel is my husbands great grandfather. Wendel settled and is buried in Kansas. As far as Jacob Perry II, I found info. that he was born in 1865 and married Mary Vannoy who was born in 1844 and died in 1940. I think that Jacob II lived in Hanover, KS, in 1880. Hope this helps

At one time I thought this was the case also. I found this family on the steamship 'Hermann' leaving from Bremen and arriving in New York in 1866. I next found them in Washington County, Kansas on the 1870 Census. So I went to this county on vacation, went to the church they worshipped at for Sunday service, went to the graveyard and saw the graves, went to the courthouse and saw the records! How exciting! Then I found this dear little old lady who knew her 'Uncle Jacob' quite well. I went to her house for a visit and within minutes realized I had the wrong family! Her 'Uncle Jake', Jacob Yaeger II, lived and died in California. She and the rest of her family visited him there quite often. My Jacob Perry Yaeger (Jaeger) was never in California. Family tradition also has it that his mother and father ran a mercantile store in New York City. Quite a dissappointment to find this was not them! Nice vacation though! Lol!
