Hello List,
I'm trying to trace my family back to Germany. The
only information I have for my great granfather is as
follows:
George Edward Ostendorf b. May 1864, Germany. Family
lore says Prussia. He came to the United States in
1881 according to thee census records I have in the
states. Family claims he ran away from the German
Army. The 1st time I could locate him was in the 1900
census for Butler, Ohio, Hamilton County. He was
married to CLARA ELIZABETH DIEPHAUS from Twistringen,
Germany. At that time they had 3 children. If anyone
has any information it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Sharon,
do you checked the marriage of this couple? Maybe there is listed where your ancestor came from.
Was he lutheran or catholic?

Hello Werner,
I don't believe that they married in Germany. She came
to the US in 1892, went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where her
brother Henry Diephaus, owned a grocery store and
sponsered many of the family memebers when they came
over. My great grandfather worked for her brother, and
either they met there or in Gerrmany. I've tried to
find marriage records to no avail. I'm also unable to
locate his natuaralization papers, although on all of
the US census he claims to have been natuaralized in
1885. That tells me that he must have been here 5
years prior. The only passenger record I can locate is
from Amsterdam on the ship Jason. The age is not
correct, and it only lists a George Ostendorf. Thank
you very much for your assistance, if you can possibly
think of anything else it would be greatly
appreciated. Best Regards, Sharon
