Greetings: I am interested in finding connections for all thoses German names that might trace back to N.E. Bavaria, especially (Lenau, Kulmain, Kemanth, etc) (essentially east of Bayreuth and west of Czech border) in (Township?? of Tiershenreuth ) in (County of Oberpfaltz) in Bavaria. I am working on a theory that many immigrants came to our Dayton area from that area following friends in the 1880's and early 1890's. I know of at least 5 surnames that came directly from that area in the 1880's including, Vogel, Rauch, Schreiber, Lehnert, Wagner and Planner. I suspect others from the same area and time period. If so, this would be a big help for all of us in tracing our families and collateral lines. Thanks for any help. Mike Kennedy
