I'm descended from Michael Ringer born in Pa near the Maryland line in 1812. So far we haven't been able to find any info on his parents or siblings. The only hint I have is that his father came from Rotterdam to Baltimore and he had four brothers as told by one of his granddaughters but no one seems to know what their names were.One of his sons went west to Ohio when he was young but returned to Addison Twp where he lived and raised his family. They belonged to the Lutheran Church so there's a good chance they were of german anscestory--Myrna
