Henry's death certificate says his mother was Mary Davis, not Mary Fiester. This was a surprise--lots of DAR applications have been submitted saying that Godfrey Fiester's daughter Mary married David Shipman. Any idea how this tradition started? Maybe Mary FIester was David Shipman's first wife, and Mary Davis was his second wife?<br><br> 2005-05-12 15:55:16Z haberman1 http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.fiester/63.2.2/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.fiester/1.22.32.49.2/mb.ashx Looking for info on George FIESTER who married my father's sisters Blanche E.

My father met her when she came to Hemingford, NE in I assume the 30's. On the back of the picure it says this is Raymond's girl, and it was sent to my aunt Violet Fiester. I also have a picture of Josephine with a little boy named Johnnie and one with my Grandfather Edward Fiester. Edward was the son of Henry Fiester and Cornelia Bilstein Fiester of Chicago, or maybe Gary, Indiana. I haven't been able to document anything on them, all I basically know is their names.

Your group belongs, I believe, to the Swiss branch of the tree which may or may not connect to our Germany side, but as I've learned, there are Feaster, Fiester, Pfisterer and Pistor names throughout southern Germany, Switzerland, Austria and even southeastern France. The name is from the latin pistorious, which means baker in english and the first time the name was seen in print was approx 800 AD. I guess everyone that was a baker may have taken a derivative of the word pistorious and translated it into their own language.<br> I think if you check the Feaster spelling of the name on Ancestry.com message board you may get a better result.
