I'm. Looking for some answers regarding the ehringer and layman line. My great grandother was gertrude ehringer and her father was joseph michael ehringer and her mother was mary ann koemer?(koener?). I'm trying to figure our who joseph's mom and dad are since he shows up as a grandson in the 1880 census, but not listing a mother, nor is a father to be found. In the 1900 census, joseph is married to mary but a brother named andrew hohman is living with them, saying he is a brother to joseph. But who on earth is andrew hohman, why is he listed as brother, why was he born in kentucky and not indiana, and how does he relate to this family.
