Notes: We may be related to a pear! Grandma Anna Kieffer Gevelinger had a long line of relatives from the Luxembourg area. John and Peter were names that were featured often in that family. Another Peter Kieffer from Europe settled in Roxborough Philadelphia. He created the Kieffer pear from Sand and Bartlett pears, to produce a blight free fruit. Although not the tastiest pear, it's good for pies and desserts.
