Jeanine,
I can't help you with the Geines, Greiner thing, but my family came from Philip Geines (Guines) of Lawrence County, Ill. I haven't very much, all I know is Sarah Guines married Washington Grove October 25, 1849. She was my gr gr grandmother. Her father was Philip, mother Catherine Gutthatel? and that's all I know. If you could add anything I would appreciate it. I take it from your letter Henry was Sarah's brother. The only source I have is Washington and Sarah's marriage license copy.
My e-mail is SPARKETTE at peoplepc dot com.
Thanks.
Bunny

Emma was the daughter of Christian Schmidt and Christina Gines, and the bible, plus the bible for Christian Schmidt has been in the family all these years. It was discovered in December, 2003.

This Bible Belongs to Philip Geins

First page:

Died:
Catherine is found in the 1855 Illinois census living with Philip and the daughter Sarah family. In the 1870 census, we only see Philip living with Sarah and her family. We can strongly assume that Catherine passed away between those two dates.
