I would like to add some confusion to this discussion.
My great grandfather, Andrew Portzer had a Mrs. Joseph Omioner and daughter Regina of Locust Gap listed in his obituary.I figured that the last name should really be Omlor.
In the 1900 Census there's an Elizabeth Omlor listed.However, the 1920 ? census shows that her son living with her was a Reichwein.
I thought her husband was Peter Reichwein who was born (geb) October 24, 1848 and died (gest)January 22, 1879.He's buried next to Andrew's brother (Henry and Catherine Portzer) at the St. Joseph/St. Mauritius Cemetery in Schuylkill.I assume he was an immigrant since the tombstone was in German.
They had children:John b. January 1, 1875.
Peter b. April 15, 1877
Henry April 30, 1879
I have a letter from the catholic church to support this information.
Does this fit to anything that you have?
