Families may return to a country for a vacation and return with other family. Anna Pohler came to the US ~1885. Her sister, Ida Pohler, traveled alone to join her in ~1889. Ida returned to Germany in March? 1903 and returned, with her husband-to-be, in May 1903. The family traveled in 1923 with two children to Germany and had an extended vacation. When they returned they brought Martha Pohler, a niece of Ida, and Oswald Hartmann, a nephew of Ida.
