Doctor Grandma

speaking to my kids:

 

Heinrich Christoph Ohlendorf, father of Victor, father of Elvira (your great-grandma Graul) immigrated in 1856, arriving in New York City. This is all already documented by Aunt Pearl, Grandma Alice Black’s sister. All I see right now is the year. He was already married in Germany, born 14 Oct. 1837.

Heinrich became Henry Ohlendorf in the US. He and Margaret had 8 children, the 2nd one being Victor. Victor was born in Illinois. 

 

 

On the Graul side, Johann born in 1 Sept 1814 in Germany, APPEARS he became a citizen in 1850. He and Dorothea had 7 children, Henry being #6. Their 1st child, Friedrich, was born in Germany in 1838. Their 2nd child, Mary, was born in the U.S. in 1840 (so they immigrated sometime between 1838-40). Their 6th child, Henry GRAUL, was your great-grandpa Albert Graul’s father.

 

In the 1850 census, “Johann Graul” is John Grol. They become the Grol family for the 1850 census.

 

 

So on Dad’s side, both German families have a “Henry”.

Henry Ohlendorf immigrated & is the father of Victor, who was the father of Elvira (Grandma Alice Black’s mother).

 

Johann Graul immigrated & was the father of Henry Graul, who was the father of Albert Graul, who married Elvira.
