CRIST or CHRIEST Ohio, Maryland, Indiana, Illinois
My grandfather, John Anthony CRIST, was living at Cumberland, Maryland in 1926 and listed his siblings as Charles CRIST of Alta, Canada; Paul CRIST of Bloomington, Illinois; Catherine SCHOLL of Washington, Indiana;
William CRIST of Danville, Illinois; Joseph CRIST of Davenport, Iowa and Frank CRIST of Huntington, West Virginia. Some of these brothers were probably blacksmiths or railroad workers.
The parents of these siblings was Charles CRIST and Frances Philumena "Minnie" SCHMELZER. Minnie was the daughter of Anselm SCHMELZER and Margaret KELLER. Anselm is the son of Blausius SCHMELZER and Maria Walburga CRIST, the daughter of Johann George CHRIST and Ursula HELMSTEINER. These families are linked to a cluster of villages near Rothenburg, Bavaria, Germany that include Burgoberbach, Ornbau, Arberg, amd Herrieden.
