Biography

Frederick Gigax was born in 1816 in Bleienbach, Launek, Bern, Switzerland.1 He married Anna B. Gilgen on 19 February 1842 in Republic of Bern. He died on 6 January 1899 in Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, USA, at the age of ~83.
Frederick Gigax was baptized on 16 June 1816 in Bleienbach, Launek, Bern, Switzerland.1

A certificate of baptism for Frederick, b.31 March 1844, gives his parents as Anna Gilgen of Riieggisberg (it may be Rueggisberg -- spelling unclear) and Frederick Gigax, s. of Jacob of Bleienbach. Jacob Gigax is a witness, b. of the son. This inforamtion is from a chart given to Russell Arndts by a woman named Ruth.

It appears that Frederick and Hannah came to the USA in 1851. The last child recorded to have been born in Switzerland is Sophia (b.1851).

After coming the the USA, the spelling of the last name was changed in this branch of the family from GYGAX to GIGAX. Other branches maintained the Old World spelling.

He was naturalized on 10 October 1859 in Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, USA.
