Ferdinand SOHM (b 8 Oct 1817, DEU, d 27 Aug 1890, Memphis, TN) m c 1849-1850 Josephine Apolonia "Dodo" MAIER. They had 3 ch in Cleveland, OH, bet 1850-1855, before moving to Memphis, TN, c 1858-1868:

1) John Joseph "JJ" SOHM (b 29 Jul 1850, Cleveland, OH, d 7 Sep 1934, Memphis, TN)

2) Julius Ferdinand SOHM (b 4 Nov 1853, Cleveland, OH, d 6 Apr 1931, Memphis, TN)

3) Louis F. SOHM (b c 1855, OH, d 20 Sep 1879, Memphis, TN)

JJ and Julius SOHM have descendants living in the Memphis area with surnames of CALKINS, METZ, and WOOD.

I hope that finding info about Ferdinand SOHM, and when and where he met Josephine MAIER, will help me locate the village in Baden, DEU, where Josephine MAIER (1826-1903) and her brother (my 2gr-grf) Max MAIER (1829-1867) were born. According to his Intent to Naturalize filed in Oct 1851 in Hamilton Co., OH, Maximilian "Max" MAIER arrived at the Port of NY from Le Havre in Sep 1849. He may have arrived with Josephine, their brother (name unknown), and their widower father (name unknown). More details posted in messages on the MAIER GenForum, and the Shelby Co., TN, and Baden, Germany, GenWebs. Carl
