My Grandfather, Louis John Kohl was born 16 Apr 1862 in Syracuse, I believe. He was orphaned, I don't know at what age. His obit indicates his uncle, Valentine Whitmore brought him to Rochester, sent him to school and gave him a job. His death certificate indicates his father's name was John Frederick. His adult "conditional" baptism record indicates his mother's name was Elizabeth Whitmore. The only record I can find that appears to be of his parents is a 1960 census record in Syracuse for John Cole and Elizabeth Witmore, living in the home of her parents, Felton and Catherine Witmore. Any ideas on where I might look for additional information would be most appreciated. Thank you. Micki Rochester, NY
