This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Steinmeyer, Eckmann, Eckman, Klaeser Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JW.2ADI/820.1.1 Message Board Post: Henry's biological parents are unknown, but he was born in 1875 in California. He was then adopted by Frederick William STEINMEYER (b. 1828/9, Prussia) & Anna C. ECKMANN / ECKMAN (b. 1852, Hanover), who lived in Sacramento, CA. [Anna married second William KLAESER.] So, no, I'm afraid it does not appear there is a connection here to South Carolina.
