I have been searching for information concerning my grandfathers family in Neu-Bauer, Russia and where in Germany did they come from and what date. I have found the passenger listing for the SS Ivernia coming through the Port of Boston when he came to the US. The family has always spelled the last name as Rohnert, but on the passenger listing he is listed as Johan Rahnert. I found the 1920 US Census for Scottsbluff, NE., the family is listed as Johan Rohnert and then the 1930 US Census shows John Rohnert. According to a page from a book, I don't know what book it came from, my mother was able to copy, she has passed away since, shows the name of Rahnert as one of the families in the community of Bauer and Neu-Bauer. A lot of the information I have has been passed down by word or mouth, so nothing has been substantiated. I've been told that my Great Grandmother Rahnert passed away while my Grandfather (born April 5, 1891) was young. My Great Grandfather Johan or John Rahnert remarried to a Mary Kahler but my understanding was the stepmother and my Grandfather did not get along, so he lived with friends of the family by the name of Jacob Wagner (we think) and wife for a few years. He came to America with a family by the name of Weidemann who was listed on the same ship. There were two step-brothers and several sisters who stayed in Neu-Bauer. I'm trying to located as much information about Frank and Neu-Bauer and where in Germany my family came from. If anyone has suggestions or know anything about Bauer and Neu-Bauer I would appreciate it very much. Gerald (Jerry) Rohnert Meridian, Idaho
