That would hopefully give you his parents names, birthplaces. I've got the 1880 LDS Census CDs. The only Nicholas Sauer listed on the national index was listed as a teacher at St Mary's Institute , Van Buren, Montgomery, Ohio FHL Film 1255052 National Archives Film T9-1052 Page 795C. a. He is listed as a single white male, birthplace not shown and both parents born in Germany. Street names are not given But if you ever have any names I'll be glad to look them up. I helped to transcribe the 1864 Baltimore City Directory. The Sauers listed are as follows.
