My Anna Maria Roth came to Harrison Co, IN, with her family from Bavaria in 1854. She married Ferdinand Ott there in 1860, and spent the rest of her life in that area. After Ferdinand died in 1898, Anna moved to New Albany, in adjacent Floyd Co., and died there in 1916. Interestingly, however, soon after Anna Maria married Ferdinand, her parents, siblings, and extended family left Indiana and moved to the La Crosse, WI area. Much later, William Ott, son of Ferdinand and Anna Maria, brought his new wife to La Crosse, where my Dad Mervin Ott was born. About 1925, my Dad left La Crosse, went to Milwaukee, and married my mother, Rose Nooyen, who was from the Green Bay area. They remained in the Milwaukee area. I was born there in 1940 and grew up in Greendale. But as of now, I know of none of my Roth line that moved to the Milwaukee area.
