Valentine is my great-great grandfather.He married Josephine Pinkowski.They had 7 children:Valentine, Anthony, Joseph, Theodore, Francis (my great grandfather), John and Anne.Valentine, Sr. came to Detroit, Michigan in 1879.
Valentine had a brother, Herman.Herman married Josephine's sister, Frances.They had 5 children:Herman, John, Veronica, Theresa and Clara.Herman came to Detroit, Michigan in 1894.
Can anyone tell me who Valentine and Herman's parents and grandparents were?
I have been told that my linkage to the Rothermel family is through Johannes son, George Michael(born in Wachbach, Germany, in 1710)It is believed that he remained in Germany to over-see his parent's land.
