Backs family in Cincinnati Ohio
I am looking for any information on the Backs (unknown of other spellings) family from Meppen, Hannover, Germany.
The person I am looking for is and his ancestors is Gerhard Henry Backs, born abt. 1836 in Germany, he died at the age of 56 on August 3, 1892 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had a sister named Ida, I'm unsure of other siblings. He married Josephine Dickhoff, born in the province of Hannover, Germany. Gerhard had three children; Catherine, born 25 Oct 1880, Gerhard Henry, born 15 Mar 1884, and Albert Joseph, born 3 Oct 1886. The three children were in an orphanage in Cincinnati following the death of their father and were released to different families, not adopted.
If anyone can help I truly appreciate it, or if you need information on them I have very little but will be glad to share.
