My grandmother was Magadalena Nancy SOLLMON born about 1873 in Sandusky County, Ohio. She married Ludwig (Louis) Friederich (Frederick) EVERS (AVERS) in 1894 at SOLOMON Lutheran Church, Woodville, Ohio. Her sister Mary SOLLMON married Louis Frederick's brother, Henry AVERS. Her father Lewis was listed in the 1850 census of Washington Township, Sandusky County, Ohio, under the names SOLLMAN, SULLMAN, ZOLLMAN. His father is listed there as Henry SOLLMON, age 50. I have not confirmed this, but it is believed Henry was born in Hannover, Germany. "john avers" <johna@whitecmh.org
