The Descendants of George Joseph Krieg

The material in this summary was organized and contributed by John Klaiber of Jim Thorpe, PA. He can be reached at klaiber@usadatanet.net. John is a direct descendant of George Joseph Krieg and his son George John Krieg, and is therefore related by marriage to the family of Patrick Sweeney, who was born in Cherry, PA in 1846. George John Krieg was the brother of Patrick Sweeney's wife Waleberga Krieg. The Sullivan County Settlers Web Page is grateful to John for this historical information. We have therefore boldfaced the direct line of descent for John Klaiber in the following genealogy.
