My great grandfather was Charles Dohm, born in1829 in Germany according to the 1900 census, (but born in Michigan says the census of 1880). The spelling is Doahm only in the 1880 record, with wife Jane (Young) and 5 children: Augustus, Edward, Samuel Young (my grandfather), Carl and Wilhelmina. In the 1870 census he lists his POB as Prussia. I cannot seem to trace him back farther, and need to know when he came to the U.S. so I can search the Immigration Records. Can you help? He was still living in Erie, Monroe Co, Michigan area as a widower in 1900, and my grandparents came to California soon after.
Thank you so very much.....LaVonne Dohm Holmes
