Most of my relation is in Minnesota and Ohio. Spelling it "Imholte." My ancestors are from Essen, Germany. I was told that Hanover is a provence and Essen is a city in that provence. Frederich and Fredereca came to the US with there son Anton. I am wondering if there is any relation to the way you spell it? Does any of this information sound familiar to any one? I would like to find more information from family members from other states to fill in that side of the family.
