Yeager family ties in Wisconsin
I am looking for any information on my fathers family. My grandfathers name was Lawrence born Sept 25, 1899. My ggrfathers name was Nicholas and he was married to Elisabeth (Spaeth). I'm not really sure how they spelled the name back then, there are stories that my grandfather changed it to Yeager from Yaeger or Jager. From Germany. The siblings in the family were Mary, Margaret, Benjamin, Michael, George, Lind, Peter, Albert(who died at age 25), and Louella who was actually Mary's daughter, but was adopted by Nicholas and Elisabeth. If there is anyone with any information. My fathers name is Albert Peter Yeager and he was born in Boyd, Wisconsin. There is only him and my aunt Betty Lou still living in his immediate family and I have asked them all that they know on the families, which isn't a whole lot. I'd like to pass some information down to my children and the future generations, but I'm not having much luck. Please help if you can. My email is horgan@lakenet.com . Thank You
