LEININGER FAMILY HISTORY NORTHWEST OHIO  |
 JACOB MICHAEL JOHN FRED GEORGE
My Father's Grandmother was Elizabeth LEININGER (1856 - 1937). Elizabeth was a daughter of Frederick LEININGER (1821 - 1906). I started this web site in order to give me an incentive to sort out the many LEININGER families that lived in western Fulton County and Northwest Ohio. I hope this information helps you with your LEININGER family history research. Please send me an email to tell me about your LEININGERs; Charles Keller, [email protected] Please understand, that this site is not intended to be a complete listing of all descendants. Initially, these pages willcontain my own ancestors, but I'll be adding other LEININGER families as I identify them. Below is my Line of Descent. The names underlined are links to pages that contain information about the persons and their families. Lower on the page are 2 clickable Index of Names; the first for North West Ohio. Second is the Line of Descent & Index for Auglaize Co., Ohio Leiningers. Click on the name to go to their family web page. Please send your LEININGERs to me to add to these pages. I have used the Census records online at Ancestry.com and the Tombstone Inscription books that were published by the Fulton Count Genealogy Association as sources for much of the North West Ohio Leininger information. Some information has been provided by "Leininger cousins" from their own sources.  A great starting point in your Leininger research is the book: "An American History of the 1837 Leininger Family" by Georgene (Leininger) Gallagher, published in Hinsdale, Illinois in 1980. I just found on the Social Security Death Index, that Georgene has died; (7/19/1940 - 5/16/2000). Click for Georgene's Obituary.*NEW* I have posted scans of all the pages of "An American History of the 1837 Leininger Family". Georgene's sister, Caryl Rohling, executor of her estate, graciously gave me permission to post the book on this web site. The book has been out of print for some time. The Fulton County Genealogy Association is also given the right to distribute copies of the scans of this 1837 Leininger Book. If you have questions or corrections of the information in the pages of this Leininger web site, please send them to me & I'll attempt to answer them or send them to the appropriate "cousin." My motivation is to provide as much information as possible, knowing that mistakes or bad information will occur.
