Hi Betsy, MANY of my Bavarian ancestors settled in Monroe County,Ohio in the mid 1800s; however, not the surnames that you mention. Check out my genealogy web site for possible connections at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/3312/BJS.HTM I have some more to add there too when I get my "roundtoits" together! Keep in touch and Happy Hunting!
