Early Mentions of Ferdig in US Newspapers
A search of the Library of Congress' Chronicling America shows the Ferdig surname appearing first across Freemont and Perrysburg, Ohio, in the northwest of the state, in the 1840s, 50s and 60s. The 1870s saw Ferdigs expand into Iowa and Pennsylvania, with Kansas, New York, and Illinois following in the 1880s. [1]
