Hello Barbie
The Rautenberg families indexed in your sources, could any of them be Charles A Rautenberg of Toledo, OH, ? He was a musician, came here in 1864 with his mother Elizabeth, nee Hollman, father's name Christ, although I never did find him in the USA, and it appears that his mother remarried. Charles married Ella Hanlon, nee Shinaver, in 1902 in Toledo, her 3rd marriage. He died after 1922.

Dear Guenter,
I'll take a little time and see if I can find Rautenberg of Ohio.
Quick search for name Rautenberg gives Logan County Illinois.. though not a Charles. An E.F.L Rauntenberg, who started a German newspaper called the Journal, which was sold and the purchasers of that paper merged it with the Volksblatt
