Bertha Elizabeth (Pfeiffer) Shank & Adam Bay (Baey)
Looking for descendents of Bertha Elizabeth (Pfeiffer) Shank who
married Adam Bay (Baey). They had 4 children listed in FamilySearch.org.
One, Florence Belle, married Vollie Graham in California.
There are 5 living children listed.
Bertha was the daughter of Josephine Shank and the stepdaughter of my
greatgrandfather’s brother, Jacob Pfeiffer, a miner or stone mason from
Wendlingen, Wuerttemberg, Germany, and was in Virginia City, Nevada, around 1870-1880.
Jacob Pfeiffer had children with Josephine: Joseph, Hunitta (Henrietta?),
George, Lilly and William.
No one has been able to find any of these children or where Jacob and Josephine
died and are buried. I am a descendent of Johann David Pfeiffer of Olivia, MN,
the brother of Jacob Pfeiffer.
