The more I learn the more I'm beginning to believe that he may be the father of my Michael Ringer from Addison Twp. There's other Ringers in Somerset Co but it seems like the ones in Addison are connected some how? Michael brought property from Abraham Ringer and even though Michael is buried in the Ringer cemetary his children and Abraham are all buried at St Paul. A Article in the Casselman Chronicles by one of Michael's grandchildren stated that he told her parents that his father came from Rotterdam. If this is true than the other Ringer families would be eliminated because they have been in Pa for a couple of generations. Joseph is suppose to have been born in Germany. But this is all theory no proof so far---Myrna
