We are seeking information on our line of elusive Yaeger ancestors. My Great Great Grandfather was George Yaeger who was born in 1850 in Alsace-Lorraine, France and he died in January 1921 in Majestic, Jefferson County, Alabama. He married Barbara Catharine Fennig in August 1874 in Mercer County, Ohio. George and Barbara Catharine Fennig Yaeger had 8 children.

The oldest was my Great Grandmother, Rosena Margaret Yaeger Warnock born July 13, 1875 in the Mercer County, Ohio / Jay County, Indiana area and she died in December 1926 in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama. She married Hezekiah Leroy Warnock in March 1898 in Jay County, Indiana. They had 9 children, the youngest of whom was my Grandmother, Thelma Rosena Warnock Scheuing.

The second child of George and Barbara Catharine Fennig Yaeger was John George Yaeger. The only information that we have on John is that he was born January 2, 1877 in Indiana and he married Blanche "Beatrice" Schmidt. John and Beatrice had 3 children: Bertha Elizabeth Yaeger (born 1912 in Indiana and married to Leroy Strickler); Helen Frances Yaeger (born September 1914 and died October 1926); Carl Grant Yaeger (born August 1918 in Jay County, Indiana and died January 1959 in Adams County, Indiana).

The 3rd child of George and Barbara Catharine Fennig Yaeger was Lewis Phillip Yaeger (born February 2, 1879. Lewis married Vera Powell (born 1887 and died June 1949). They had 4 children: Mary Dorothy (born 1906 and married to a Currier), Marie Delight (born 1907 and married to a Chaney), Fay Audrey (born 1908 and married to a Knickel), and Powell George (born 1910 and died November 1965).

Sarah Catharine Yaeger born February 4, 1881 was the 4th child of George and Barbara Catharine Fennig Yaeger. Sarah Catharine Yaeger married Dr. William Sutton (born 1869 and died October 1932) in November 1924 in Mercer County, Ohio. Sarah Yaeger Sutton died in August 1960 in Jay County, Indiana.

The 5th child of George and Barbara Catharine Fennig Yaeger was William Henry Yaeger who was born November 23, 1883 and died in April 1959 in Morris, Jefferson County, Alabama.

Next was Frederick A. Yaeger who was born January 29, 1887 in Indiana and died in July 1950 in Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee. Fred was married to Julia Tanner Yaeger.

Daniel Adam Yaeger was born January 13, 1890 in Jay County, Indiana. He and his twin, David Andrew Yaeger (January 13, 1890 - April 1928) were the last children born to George and Barbara Catharine Fennig Yaeger.

When David Andrew Yaeger died in April 1928, his obituary mentions that he is survived by 5 brothers (this would be: John, Lewis, William, Frederick, and Daniel) and a sister, Sarah. However, in July 1950, when Frederick A. Yaeger died, his obituary mentions that he is survived by 2 brothers, Daniel (of Tampa, FL) and William and a sister, Sarah. We would be interested in information on any of the children of George and Barbara Catharine Fennig Yaeger. But, we are especially interested in learning more on John, Lewis, and Daniel Yaeger. We have been trying for several years to trace these elusive Yaeger relatives without much success. If any of these names sound familiar, please contact us at spekldpups@msn.com

John, Lewis and Daniel are all listed in my Fennig family tree book. The only other information I have that you didn't list is about Daniel. He married Laura Alberta Phillips May 18, 1922 and had two children: Daniel Alexander Jr. Dec. 18, 1923 and Henry Eliner Nov. 7, 1928.
