Both of these addresses are listed within two months of each other! Any idea what is going on here? A totally coincidental address change? Was there a Jackson and a Farson in Camden in 1912? Only one or the other? Both? 2. If only one is correct, which is correct? 3. Why would John Nehring be taking a trip back from Bremen in July of 1912, when his daughter got married at the tail-end of May of the same year? What was he doing overseas? And why was he unaccompanied by his wife and other family? Vince Summers
