Daughter of Michael GREIDENWEIS and of Maria Sibilla STRAUB Greidenweis (both buried with no extant markers in the cemetery of St. Laurentius Catholic Church in Göcklingen bei Landau, Südliche Weinstraße, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland) and wife of Carl August Leopold (later Charles) AFEMAN (buried in the same plot with her), with whom she had nine children.
The links below lead to the memorials for only six of their children. Missing there are Amelia ("Emily," "Emma") AFEMAN Sommers Cruse, Dora AFEMAN Fluck and Charles AFEMAN. The first two can be found at FAG memorials nos. 28489476 and 22613315.
In 1853, at the time of her immigration to Louisiana, the place of her birth belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria (see photo of its crest at right). Franziska ("Francis") had followed her brother-in-law Valentin GEIGER (buried probably also in Rapides Cemetery) to Rapides Parish, LA. Her sister Anna Maria GREIDENWEIS Geiger (whose burial is as yet unknown) and nephews apparently arrived only in 1855, according to the obituary of Johann Jacob GEIGER.
