Jsleach your in luck!!! My name is Sarah Layman and I am descdant of both Robert Layman and Gertrude Ehringer. Well technically I'm their great grand daughter, but still I got some info, and I bet you do too!!!

So here's what I got. Robert E. Layman was born Nov. 25 1893 or 1895 and served in WW1. I'm not exactly sure when he died, I'm still searching. Gertrude Ehringer was born in 1900 and she either died in the 1930's or her and Robert got a divorce I'm not sure yet. Now rumor has it that during the Depression Robert and Gertrude didnt have the money to keep their children and ended up having to put them in the orphanage. So the rumor is, not sure if it's true or not but it's what I heard from my dad, and my grandfather Joseph Layman. It could be true, because sometimes I find them on one census record, then the next poof..no trace of them whatsoever..like they were ghosts or something. As for Robert & Gertrude's kids I'm not sure who they are. All I know about is Mary(since she shows up on one census record), Joseph (my grandfather), and David (because my dad was named after his uncle). I heard there was at least 8 or 9 kids, but I could be wrong. So I need some clearing up on that.

Now for some back tracking. I don't have Gertrude's background unfortunately, but will inform you on anything as soon as I can. But I do have Robert's background!! Robert's father and mother was Henry Layman(born in 1865) & Hattie( born in 1866). Robert's brother's and sister's are:
Charles-b.Sept. 1889-d.?
Clifford-b.Nov. 1894-d.?
Russell-b.Aug. 1895-d.?
Verna-b.Feb. 1898-d.?
Gilbert(Loyd)-b.Mar. 1900-d.?
Mable-b.1901-d.?
*Henry was born in Vigo Co. IN. And Hattie was born in IN too. Hattie's father was born in IN, and her mother was born in PA.
*When Henry was 14 he worked in a mill, then later on when he was 43 he was a laborer in a brewery
----------------

Henry's father and mother was Henry(Sr.) Layman(born in 1829-d. anywhere from 1870-1880) and Sarah A. (born in 1843-d. anywhere from 1900-1910)
Henry(Jr.) had 2 sisters that I'm sure of, but there shows up another one in the 1880 census for Vigo Co. IN and I can't make out the name.
Nora E. b.1858-d.?
Lillie B. b.1867-d.?
*Henry(Sr.) was born in IN but both of his parents are of foregin birth. Still trying to figure out where.
*Sarah was born in KY, her father's birthplace is N or S Carolina, and her mother's birthplace is KY
*Last record of Henry(Sr.) was in June of 1870 and he worked as a shoemaker

Hope this info was helpful to you. Feel free to clear up in gaps or if you have any other info to add. Also feel free to contact me at Stickycookies9@aol.com
