Names: Gazy, Gease, Groober

Dear Teresa,

Here are the 1870 census listings you requested. When I read the film (it's very faint), I felt that the surname we listed as Groober in the index is actually spelled Goober in this film. that doesn't mean it's not Groober/Gruber, however. We sometimes add a missing letter to help people who might skip a name otherwise. Actually, they spelled their name Gruber. I will include their cemetery listing after the census extraction. You will be happy to note that the "family relationships" section on page 189 verifies that Margaret Gease is their daughter.

The other lookup for the Gease family is also attached to this request.

I couldn't find anyone spelled Geise on p. 12 of the cemetery book. Perhaps a part of the number was dropped when we entered it. Sorry for the mistake.

Ken,

Would you please provide whatever information is available from the 1870 census for:

Gazy, John                 B50
Groober [Gruber?], Herman  B52

Yesterday I requested the cemetery information on the Gease burials.  I believe John Gazy on the census is the same as John Gease and that Herman Gruber is either the father or perhaps brother of Margaret Gease.

Again, thank you for doing the lookups.
