From a genealogy.com forum response about the Kirch family:
John Nicholas Kirch was the son of Peter Kirch and Catherine Matz Kirch from Holbach,Alsace Lorraine,France. Peter (born 1802) and Catherine (born June 23, 1809) came to America in 1847 with Jean-Michel, born 1836,Peter, born 1838, Emma, born 1840, John Peter born 1841 and twins Hannah and Nicholas born 1844. John Nicholas was born at "Kirch Hill", Grieg, NY, in Lewis County. Catherine was said to be an "Italian Princess" and a niece of Napolean Boneparte, but that story has never been proven. Catherine died October 15,1874 and was buried in St. Peter's cemetary in New Bremen, NY. Peter got upset that no-one would call him "Sir Peter" and he went back to France and wasn't heard from again. Jean-Michel changed his name to Michael Church and is buried in Lowville, NY.
John Nicholas married Magdelene Buckingham daughter of John M. Bockenheimer and Anna (or Nancy) Streif, both buried in St. Peter's cemetary in Croghan, NY, Lewis County.Magdelene was known as Laney, and even her gravestone in St. Peter's Cemetary in New Bremen says Laney. Laney and John Nicholas had 8 children, Mary (known as Minnie),Anna, Frederick Nicholas, Katherine (known as Kate), Laura, Rosilla, Charles and Florence. Minnie was born April 12, 1869 in New Bremen and died January 07, 1951 in Martha's Vineyard, MA. She married Edward ("TED") Harwood and had 4 children. Anna was born March 04, 1871 in New Bremen, married Frank Tiffany and had one son, Lansing. She died October 24, 1918, when the story says the Dr's couldn't treat her appendicitis because they were so overwhelmed with the Great Flu epidemic. She died in St. Luke's hospital in Utica NY. Frederick Nicholas and Anna were very close and he was very good friends with her husband Frank Tiffany. Frederick married Frank's daughter from a previous marriage, Letty Tiffany, so his brother-in-law became his father-in-law! Anyway, they were my grandparents. Fred and Letty had 3 daughters, Marion, Eleanor and Letty Elizabeth.
Franklin Emerson (Frank) Tiffany's "previous" marriage was to Ida A. Puffer, d/o of Franklin J. and Lydia Puffer. She is #57024023 on FaG.
