[or-roots] Freydig

[Leslie Chapman]

I wandered into my favorite used book store in Coos Bay yesterday and spent
a couple hours looking for things of interest to a genealogist and one thing
I ran across was a book profiling a bunch of Scions of industry etc in
Forestry (I think, forgive this manifestation of my poor memory) and there
was a Freydig listed there. The book was nine bucks and I didn't have
anything to make notes on, but the book was a small thing for the price he
was asking. Anyway what this is all about is I just did a google to see if I
could track the dude down and I think this is him;

2306  Freydig, Paul E.

what this is, is a web catalog of OSU staff photo archives, so this may not
be the same Freydig I think I saw yesterday, or it could be his son.

the rest of this is probably not of any interest to our list person, but
shows how rare the surname Freydig is the following are the only hits that
seemed at all relevant to genealogy for the surname Freydig from the grand
google total of 57 hits, I don't believe I have ever done a google search
for a surname and gotten so few hits before.

Several people read this advertisement and were soon- making arrangements to
come to Dry Fork District. Among them were: Hertig's who operated a grist
mill and a bakery in Switzerland; the Joseph Schmidlen's who owned a silk
mill (Joseph had a degree in interior decorating and used the silk made in
his father's mill for his decorating in Basel, Switzerland); Jakob Knutti's
who were a cheese making farm family from Niedfluh and my
great-grandfather's family; Jacob and Mary Moser Ratzer who were my
grandparents on my mother's side of the family. Jacob was from Lucerne and
Mary from Berne. Coming to West Virginia was their honeymoon trip. Others we
have heard of were: Agricole, Freydig, VonAllman (of the VonAllman
photography studios), Geisberger and Fridley
