Jacob Steiner, born about 1828, married Elizabeth Liechty, born in 1830 in 1852.
You will find him listed at http://66.219.132.123:2317/kidron?lang=en;i=127673http://66.219.132.123:2317/kidron?lang=en;i=127673
and while his ancestors are not in the Kidron Database, there are 10 children from that union.The data on the Liechty family is more extensive, and was provided by the late Delbert Gratz.
I suspect that you will find that this Steiner family originated in Switzerland, perhaps traveled to the Alsace, then went through Germany on their way to the US.
Recommend that you explore www.omii.org - and if you find that you have Swiss Mennonite relatives, or are interested in the Swiss genealogy - in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana, join the group for a modest sum.
