Appreciate the input on Philip J. Minich and wife Lena (sorry I previously said Lucy). I just found Harry in the 1900 Jefferson Twp., Newton, Indiana Census with step-parents, Warren & Mattie Drake. He is listed as being a adopted son so know this is him. It says he was born Ohio and both parents born Germany. So this would mean Philip, as his father, was born in Germany. The Philip, age 19 in Meigs Co. in 1880 was born in Ohio. Meigs Co. is 5 or 6 counties east of Cincinnati, Hamilton Co. Since Philip is listed in the Cincinnati City Directory for both 1879 & 1880, I don't think it likely that he would be living on both sides of the state at the same time. Anyway, a big thanks for trying to help me! Guess I'll keep trying to find which Ward that 634 Race St. is in so I can search it carefully for Philip.
