Johann Hubert Giefer [Parents] 1 was born 2 on 23 Jan 1799 in Arredorf, French Republic (now Ahrdorf, Germany). He died 3 on 20 Dec 1857 in Eschweiler-Stich, Germany. Johann married 4 Maria Franzisca Fischer on 12 Apr 1825 in Germany.
In Dorothy Sheer's report she has the following note added about the birth place for Johann Hubert's brother, Joseph;
"At the time Joseph -- was born, Arredorf was a village in the first French Republic, which was founded by Napolean in the summer of 1792. A few years later, when Napolean was defeated at Waterloo, this territory again became part of Germany, and the village likely changed its name to Ahrdorf.";
Due to this I have taken the liberty of changing the birth place for Johann to Arredorf, French Republic (now Ahrdorf, Germany).
