This may be of interest particularly to our Kentucky Kleinsteuber "cousins"; their ancestor(s) emigrated from Ruhla, Germany (near Gotha) to Jefferson County, Kentucky. Ruhla was (likely) a very small village in the 1830s.
This Ancestry family tree shows a Catharine Elisabeth K., born Ruhla in 1830, with a father named Johann Georg Kleinsteuber, of which we currently have three in our Tree. As names generally recurred in each succeeding generation within large families, it is very likely this Johann Georg is connected to the Kentucky Kleinsteuber cousins as well as to the other Johann George Kleinsteubers in our Geni Tree.
