Coming to you from the beautiful
MISSISSIPPI
GULF COAST
Genealogy is my hobby. I started about
1974 but have not been very active over the years. Now that a lot
of research can be done on the Net, my interest has expanded. This
genealogical database contains my direct line plus many different branches.
I think it is important to put as much info in the database as I can so
that others might find links to their ancestors. If anyone finds
an error, which I am sure are present, please let me know so that it may
be corrected.
Also, if your
line does tie in I would be interested in adding your info to this database.
As with most family histories, I have included living individuals with
details withheld. If anyone finds their name in the database and
for privacy reasons wishes to be removed, please let me know...
If I can help someone else with his or
her search or you have information that may be a help to me, please E-mail
me at F. L. (Butch) Stiver, Jr.

My Direct STIVER line |

14 generations |
|
Our earliest known ancestor was Dietrich STÖVER and wife Magdalena EBERWEIN of Frankenberg, Germany. Their son, John Kasper STÖVER, (I), left Germany with his son, Johann Casper STÖVER, (II), and daughter, Anna Elisabetha Catherina STÖVER in the spring of 1728. They arrived in Philadelphia on September 11, 1728 aboard the ship James Goodwill. The spelling of the family name changed to STOEVER shortly after arriving in America. Both father and son were well known Lutheran Ministers in the Pennsylvania and Virginia areas. The younger STOEVER was the first German Lutheran Minister ordained in the US.
My family's name stayed with STOEVER
through the next generation, John Casper STOEVER,
(III), but was changed to STAVER
with John Adam STOEVER\STAVER.
His son Johann Frederich STOVER\STAVER\STIVER
changed the name to STIVER (in
the early 1800's) which has continued down to my generation.
Some of the other family branches kept STOVER,
STAVER
or
STOEVER
as the family name. |
