In 2001 I published a book entitled Ancestors and Descendants of David Franklin Greiner, which detailed the family of my great grandfather. It included information that I knew at the time about our immigrant Greiner ancestor. In 2011 I updated the chapter on German Origins to include new information that I received in the interim. This was published in a book about Mathias Hoffer Greiner written by André Dominguez. The updated version is included below.
The majority of the original book is reproduced in the pages below. A minimal amount of information has been updated. Otherwise the content is identical to the original book.
The genealogy section of the book is in a different format than the original, due to new software that I used to generate the web pages. You can click on the Charts button above and use the various charts there to navigate to an individual within the database. From any individual you can click on other names to take you to their information page. You can also use the either of the indexes to find a person in the database. The Home button will return you to the main page.
