Gottfried F. Roth was born 10 Jan 1847 in Ebhausen, Calw, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.  He was the son of Johann Georg and Margreta Harter Roth.

-Frederick G. (twin) Roth (1877-1957)

The 1870 Census shows Gottfried at age 23 living with his wife, Kate, in Covington and working as a Locksmith.  It also shows that he and Kate were married in September of the last year (1869).  Henrietta Hermann is in the same household.

Sadly, Kate died two weeks after giving birth to their son, John H., in Jul 1879.  The 1880 Census shows Gottfried at age 33  living with his children in Covington, Kenton County, Kentucky.  He works at Keeping a Saloon.

If you have anything you would like me to add to the page (photos, stories, etc.), a suggestion to improve something, see a correction that needs to be made, or just want to say hello, I would love to hear from you. 

In addition, I have accumulated a great deal of images and information on our collateral lines (extended family outside of direct ancestors and their immediate families).  Due to space limitations, much of that is not able to be included in this website.  If you are related, think you might be, or just want to know more, I am happy to help.
