Do you know where your grandfather's family immigrated from? I have a feeling that Sophie Auer Swillum Fischer's family and Stephen Fischer's family came from the same area, which is identified in the census as Baiern (Bavaria). Then they hooked up after their spouses died. Any ideas? Thanks again! Trish
