I have not yet found where my Gollner family came from in Germany. The few records I have found in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area show Johan Heinrich Gollner born ca 1800 in the Kingdom of Germany. His wife, Sophia Dorothy was born ca 1811 in Bremen. They arrived in the United States in 1845 on a ship from Bremen. Sophia was possibly the second wife. There were two older children on the ship with the Gollner's - Ludwig age 17 (1828) and Heinrich age 16 (1829). - I have been unable to find further information on them. I have no idea on their relationship. Johan and Sophia died between 1860 and 1870 and are possibly buried in a cemetery in the old town of Granville in northern Milwaukee. The confirmed children of Johan is Margaret born 1834 in Germany; Sophia born 1836 in Germany; Catherine b 1841 in Germany; Elizabeth b 1847 in Wisconsin a Nun; John b 1848 in Wisconsin; Herman b 1851 in Wisconsin; Frederick b 1854 in Wisconsin, my great grandfather; and Mary born 1856 in Wisconsin.
