hi Dave,
I am wondering if perhaps Franz was a brother to Ferdinand Gierke who was born abt. 1840 and married Friedericke Kuhn...
1870 US Census:Wheatfield, Niagara Co. NY June 29, 1870
Post Office – Martinsville
Household # 96 is that of Ferdinand Gierke age 30, wife Frederica age 28. Ferdinand is working in a mill.
1880 US Census: Wheatfield, Niagara Co. New YorkDistrict #192June 8, 1880
Ferdinand Gierke age 40, wife Friedericke age 38, and daughter Anna age 5. Ferdinand is working as a laborer. Both Ferdinand and Friedericke are listed as born in Prussia.
by 1900 they were living in the Town of Porter with her sister, Henrietta (Hattie) Peters... are any of these the areas where your Franz was located?
