Web trees for the Grieters don't make a lot of sense

There are a few Grieters onboard the Augusta; it looks like the patriarch is: Hans / Johannes Jacob Kreider .

I haven't made too much progress putting them into any kind of known context. For example, web trees have Hans Jacob as "Martin", dying in Lancaster County PA. Otherwise the birthdate matches. But "Martin", according to the trees, has a brother Jacob, who was born several years later. And "Martin", according to the one Ancestry tree I found, has the parent "Hans Jacob", born twenty some odd years earlier than the shipboard manifests indicate. Furthermore, he has 23 children.

So the tree I've got so far seems of low confidence. This discussion is about crisping up the Grieters/Krieders.

Perhaps this will help:

Hi Jim Wile, that does help a bit, thanks.

That Geni tree, though, has problems as well. For example, Anna Elisabetha Kreider seems to have been a very busy woman with three simultaneous husbands.

I also could not locate an immigration record for brother Hans Greider , which makes me wonder, especially since WikiTree folds both of these families together. Thoughts? Both Hans George and Hans Jacob are "mastered", but are there really two people?

It looks like Dan Cornett mastered these profiles...

I did some setting of MP flags on several profiles to keep what seemed (on the surface!) different profiles from being "casually" merged. If any two such MP's are determined to actually be of the same person, let us know as any Curator can reset the MP flag to merge them as needed.

There was a GEDCOM import that was merged incorrectly into this area. I am working to fix the area. I would appreciate if everyone gives me a few days to see what I can restore. I am separating families and prefer not to work on a "moving target" if others do work also.
Thanks.

Thanks Jim Wile for tackling this.
