The obituary of my great great grandfather, Claus Meyer, states that he had two brothers remaining in Clinton. I believe I have found Claus' family in Germany and his 4 brothers are: Peter Heinrich Meier b 1848, Hinrich Christopher Meier b 1850, Hans Meyer b 1853 and Johann Meier b 1857. I believe that the brothers likely changed their names to Meyer as Claus did. I believe that I've found my one brother; Peter on the 1910 census living in Center Township and it is likely that he is the same Peter that died 3/26/1932 buried in Center Grove Cemetary. I was wondering if your John could possibly be my Johann?
