My name is Robert Berner and I currently reside in Stafford Virginia. I was born and raised in Cincinnati,Ohio. My grandfather was Andrew Iffland who died in 1962. He married Mary Horrigan in 1905 and had 2 children, Julia Catherine Iffland my mother and a brother, Andrew, that I know almost nothing about. My mother was born on December 13,1910 and passed away on October 27, 2002.
Andrew and his brother left Germany in the late 1800's to avoid forced miltary service. They landed in Mobile Alabama and stayed there for sometime. Andrew was a tailor by trade and followed that profession He met and married my Grandmother, Mary Horrigan, in Chattanooga Tenn and had 2 children while living there. He ultimatelty moved to Cincinnati in order to live in a more Germanic atmosphere, and raised his family there. I am interested in finding out more about him and his family, background etc.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
