The man Sophia divorced was Hermann Köhler, also sometimes spelled Koehler. This was her second husband. Albers was her third. Her first husband, Henry Köttkemeyer died, May 5, 1853. As it turns out, he died early in Sophia's second pregnancy. My great grandfather, Heinrich, although the child of Henry Köttkemeyer, was 4 months in the womb, when she married Hermann Köhler, the abusive drunk, who abandoned Sophia, her infant son, and tottler, the month following Heinrich's birth. This is the man she divorced. John and Henry got their third father, John Henry Albers, two days before Christmas, 1856, the month after Heinrich turned 3 years. John Henry Albers was the only father that my great grandfather ever knew, the first dying before he was born and the second abandoning him within a month of his birth. Yes. I have the docs to prove all of this. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
