Hi Sherry,
Thanks for the post and all the information!We have several seemingly unrelated families of Holzers here in Wisconsin.I thought, if I could go back far enough, there'd be a connection with at least one other family with my own, but SO FAR, no.
Your Charles Christian Holzer b. 1846 MIGHT be a cousin of my ancestor, Johannes Holzer b. 1824 (parents were Joseph Adam Holzer & Marie E. "Brigitta" Schmelz).
Johannes immigrated aboard the ship "Confederation", LeHavre, France to NYC Nov. 21, 1854, with his parents and wife Margaretha Meng and their son, John, along with 13 other Holzers (other relationships unknown, likely family)
but another pair of researchers haven't had much luck in tracing the family connections or what happened to most of the other 13 Holzers from that ship.
Any thoughts?Hope to hear from you soon!julie
