I am researching the IBA line of my family. My Great Grandmother is Martha Elisbeth IBA who was born in Niederellenback, Preussen, Germany and came to NY with her mother and siblings in 1878. She married a Eugene SCHAEFER and had two children: Joseph and Eugene.
Her siblings were: Anna Sabine who married a George BAUMANN. Caspar who married Barbara SCHMIDT, Christina who married Frederick AMANN, Henry who married Johanna KRONIER, and Jacob who married Elisabeth DIETRICH.
The family stayed in NYC and Brooklyn.
If anyone is researching this name, I would like to exchange information.
Thanks, Dee
