Gerber, for John Calhoun Gerber & Iva Mabel Havenstock Family History (submitted in 1975). There about 6 pages of family information from ELIAS GERBER's FAMILY BIBLE. These pages are written in German as well as typed & transcribed into English. Other parts of the family history state that Christian Gerber b.1763 came from PA to Stark County OH in 1810. There are 8x10 pictures of several generations beginning with Elias and Maria Gerber Family. I hope this helps someone. It certainly did my Garber/Gerber, since Christian Gerber was a brother of my John Gerber b.1747 and bap. Schwartzwald Reformed Church, Exeter Township, Berks County PA.
