I looked up "geb." in you site, and the translation is "nee" indicating a woman's maiden name. The reason I looked it up is because some old tombstones in our family's graveyard include "geb" on them. I'm thinking "geb" is an abbreviation for "geboren" (meaning "born") since it is followed by a date on the tombstones.

• Yes, that seems reasonable, but could also signify (deprecated template usage) née as the maiden name is the name that a woman was (deprecated template usage) born with. SemperBlotto 10:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
