Gidion Wisser

Gideon Wisser 1907

about 1846 -

(unknown tree)

 

Gidion Wisser is listed in the 1850 Census as being 4 years old. This would put his birth date about 1846. So far Gidion Wisser has not been connected with my family tree although he lives in the same small township as my family.

Back   - Effie Wieser, (LaRue 's grandmother), Lily May Wieser Remington, Charlie Remington, Wilbur Risser
