Sigbert Frank Steves was my great- great grandfather who settled in Fayetteville, TX. One of his sons was Frank Karl Steves who moved to the Cincinnati, OH area. My grandfather, William Henry Steves, moved to Anderson, IN. in 1905.

How do you fit into the Sigbert Steves family tree?

As a result of a recent trip to San Antonio and a visit to the Steves Homestead, I'm trying to determine if there is a relationship between Heinrich Steves and Sigbert Steves.

I'd be interested in hearing from you.

Stivers/Steves in New Brunswick

Hotrum — 2007-11-24 18:29:44Z

I'm trying to find descendants of John STEVES (1783-1869) who lived in New Brunswick. He had two marriages -- the first to Olive MALLERY (abt 1805), the second to Sarah BULL (in 1828). John's parents were Caleb and Alche STIVERS.

Descendants of John's brothers who moved to Ontario have been researched and we have a comprehensive family tree of them. One of the living males from this branch has had a Y-DNA test. We now need to discover another living male STEVES descendant from Caleb and Alche in order to validate the family tree.

Cheers, -- Dave

I am looking for the family of Jemima Steves b 1793 in NY, died in Lampton Co, Ontario 1875. She was married to Samuel Burnham. She had a son named Jeremiah--I see that some other people posting mentioned that name.
Since you do a lot of work on the family, I'm wondering if you have ever come across my Jemima.
Also I would like information about the Steves Association in Canada that you mentioned in another post. Do they have a web site?
I would be happy to exchange information with you-feel free to write me directly.

Steves Genealogy

I have some Steves genealogy as I've been doing research for a friend of mine. His line goes like this: Robert Sr, Robert, Richard, Warren,Jerome, Hyland, and then Dorval, his father.
Robert Sr was married to a Catherine and then his son, Robert, was married to a Rebecca Yates. They were originally from Eastchester/Westchester area of downstate New York. His Steves family line eventually ended up in Washington Co, NY. Will share what I have, if anyone is interested. I believe that the original spelling of the name was Stivers. Thanks....Wanda

On the Ancestry message boards you responded to Verne Steves question about Jerimiah Steves. At that time, you said you had some data on that line. I am trying to trace our Jerimiah and I have a choice of two. His son was Joshua Stuart Steves married to Sarah Howard. Heinrich Steves is close in age to what I have figured for Jerimiah from census and war pensions about 1762. Could you help me? Kerrie

Re: Steves

2003-04-01 17:21:41Z

There was a "Henry" Heinrich (sp?) Steves -- known to his friends as "Bill". He was 2nd generation family that settled in Comfort, Texas. He was probably born around 1896. He passed away in 1980 and was buried in Waco, Texas. His second wife was Ilajo Moncrief, who passed away around November, 1984 and was also buried in Waco, Texas.

He had a brother or nephew in Austin, Texas, but I am not sure of his name. (I believe it was Allen).

His best friend was Guido Ranslaben (sp?) who used to run the small museum in Comfort, Texas. When I visited, it seemed like half of the museum's history was of the Steves' family.

Good luck!

Missing STEVES cousin

2003-03-18 14:04:51Z

I am trying to locate descendants of Laura Leobelle BIXBY, b 1902, Buffalo, NY, daughter of Ralph Webb BIXBY and E. Bloudene (WESTBROOKE) BIXBY. Laura married 1918, Vernon F. STEVES and they were the parents of one daughter Barbara STEVES, b about 1920. Laura and Vernon divorced. Later (sometime in 1930 after the census was taken,) Laura married Frederic WEINHEIMER.

Laura was my mother's first cousin, but Mother never knew her due to the divorce of Laura's parents. We didn't know of Laura's daughter, Barbara STEVES existence until I found her on the 1930 census living with her mother on Colvin Avenue in Buffalo, Erie, New York.

My mother will be 92 at the end of the month and it would be great fun to surprise her with information about her cousin. Thanks, in advance, for any help you can give me.

Hello! I'm a g'dtr of Francis M. Steves. My grandmother
was Addie Mae Steves. I've been doing genealogical research on my mom's line and decided to switch over to my father's when I ran into your message. I had been thinking about my g'mother's 2nd cousin, Rose Asquith (nee Ryder). I'll never forget when she came to visit us in Colorado (in the 60's)... how are you related to her? I will be happy to ask my dad about how you can get in touch with the Somer's children.
And, I would love to find out about our family line. What little
info. I've got pertains more to the Steve's family--not much on
Ryder.

Have you ever ran across the Frank Sigbert Steves line
that arrived in New Orleans from Germany and then settled in Texas
in the 1850's? Family later spread to Cincinnati after
the Civil War and into Indiana.

I have some information and I am seeking more.
