John & Henry Pfrom are brothers. John was my great great grandfather and a civil war veteran.
John "Martin" Pfrom married Anna Wilhlemina Schaefer in Cincinnati, OH, and Henry married Catherine Gohlinghorst, most likely in Baltimore, MD. Just yesterday I recieved John Martin's full pension documents from NARA - it says that they were in Baltimore, with their parents before the war. I don't believe Henry served. Their parents died in Baltimore.

I found a website with information about HENRY & CATHERINE PFROM, but the e-mail is undeliverable... I have a picture of HENRY & CATHERINE's headstone & would like to connect with anyone about this family! I've been bumping my head into it for the last 5 years or so!!!!

Surnames: Gohlinghorst-Goehlinghorst
Well, I am busy with finding about my ancestors and their descendants in America. It is very likely that Catherine Gohlinghorst -as she is named here- belongs to my family. But at the moment it is hard to find out, because I don't have any dates about her and a lot of Göhlinghorsts were named Catherine. I couldnt find the name Pfrom either.
But I'll get on searching and then update my information.
Greetings from Germany

Hi Friederike -
CATHERINE GOHLINGHORST, daughter of CATHERINE Unknown (1834 GER - ? Baltimore, MD?) and Unknown Father, was born 16 May 1850 in GERMANY (Where?), and died 4 August 1933 in Baltimore, MD. She was the wife of HENRY OLIVER PFROM, son of JOHN MARTIN PFROM (1811 Hessen - 1868 Baltimore, MD) and KATHERINE ELIZABETH EPER (1812 Hessen - 1896 Baltimore, MD). I don't now much else about her. I will forward your message to her Great Grandaughter, Dale Harrison Pumphrey who resides in the Baltimore area. I look forward to hearing from you again!
