Hello Marilyn,

I have not paid the extra money for Ancestry.com but there are indeed some
Stiers listed on there that were my grandmother's (Iva Lucille Stiers) 4
brothers.  The contact listed was a Robert Jacob Stiers, but he has neither
replied to my email nor has he returned my recent telephone call.

It's kind of funny because I found that he posted a list of some other
Stiers on a 2nd ancestry-type website, but I don't think that 2nd set is in
the same lineage as the other (1st set) Stiers!

That is curious that you are in Wisconsin - that is where my paternal
grandfather settled in the 1840s.  He fought in the US Civil War for a
Volunteer Regiment that was primarily made up of other Germans from that
area.  He moved around a little, but the town we have for him is Appleton.

Another curiosity perhaps, is that my mother's sister and my sister sibling
are both named Marilyn Marjorie *Last name*.

Lastly, I might have been the original poster looking fir the Holthinrichs
on Ancestry.com but nothing ever came of that.  I'll look again, just to
make sure.

With warmest personal regards,

David Otto

David, do you have access to Ancestry.com?  I found oodles of Stiers
there, though it's possible none of them is yours.

Also, have you seen the Holthinrichs query to the Oldenburg list back in
2000/2001?  I found that with a Google search for "Holthinrichs."  And I
found a few in Ohio and Kentucky on Ancestry.com.

Let me now what you've already done and if I can look for anything here
for you.
