> Your family line goes like (all dwelled in Schoenbach

>
> 1. Andreas NIEDERMAYER, born ?, died ?, burger
> married : Maria DEISTLER, in November 13, 1668
> 2. Andreas NIEDERMAYER, b. ?, d. ?, burger and furrier
> married : Maria SIEBENHIENER, in November 20, 1718
> 3. Florian NIEDERMAYER, b. March 31, 1724, d. October
> 10, 1812, house no. 153
> married : Anna Susanna SCHUSTER, in July 5, 1756
> 4. Benedikt NIEDERMAYER, b. June 6, 1762, died
> December 31, 1826, house no. 153
> married : Maria Anna PLACHTA, in November 22, 1784,

June 24, 2001 - Anita "Nettie" Westenberger Kaul was under theimpression that Grandpa Niedermeyer may have had myasthenia gravis.She bases this assumption on how he looked, and acted, compared to howher son (that died) looked and acted before his untimely death.
