Growing up, "Aunt Jonnie" as we called her, was like a grandmother to me. She was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. I only knew that she had one son and that there was a car accident. After that she married "Papa" as we called him (Harold Leymaster).

Rusty, I may have met you one time when you were about 16 and on a visit to Aunt Jonnies -- and so was I. Would love to connect!

Hello,
It has been quite awhile since your post. Have you learned any more from Phillips line? Did he have a sister Maria Teresa Rohmann who married Johann W. Schieffer in 1830 in Dusseldorf?
His line eventually lived in Wisc. where most of the Metz family settled after moving from Buehl, Baden, Germany.
Please if you are still interested send e-mail.

Rusty -- Do you have red hair? Did you visit with your grandmother, Jonnie in Sacramento in the 1960's? If so, we've met!

If not, I do have some of the info you are looking for if you haven't already found it.

Howard's father was Ry Phillip Rohman born 13 Apr 1899 in Nebraska and died 14 Feb 1945 in Kern county, CA.

Do you have any pics of Jonnie O'Hair? I would love to get one. She was one of my most favorite people in my life.

Look forward to hearing from you,

KevinBrennan53 — 2006-08-12 17:22:28Z

I have a number of Anna/Ann Rohman's in my data base from the Peoria, Ill area but I don't have any information on who they married. The Rohman's from this area originate from the Peter Rohman and Anna Ranhold Rohman family that came from Bavaria, Germany and settled near Spring Bay & Metamora, Illinois. Contact me if you get more information.

Re: Howard Ross Rohman (amended information)

KevinBrennan53 — 2006-08-12 17:22:28Z

Rusty

I'm not sure if I can help you but many of the Rohman's in the Upper Midwest originated from a family that came from Bavaria to Metamora, Woodford County, Illinois in about 1834. The parents were Peter Rohman and Anna Ranhold. They had six sons plus 3 other children many who had large families. At least one of the decendants of these families ended up in Nebraska. I do not have a Howard Ross Rohman in my records but I have two Phillip Rohmans and the Rohman's were related to the Ross family from Livingston County. I would encourage you to get a death certificate and obituary from your grandfather. Good Luck.

Yes this is for a Howard Ross Rohman. (Even tho it says James up top this is Rusty). I know very little about him as he did in the early 50's when my father was 4 years old. He was an only child. I know that his father's name was Roy Phillip Rohman and mother's name was Jonnie Elener O'Hair. If anyone has info I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I made a mistake in my information. He was actually born in 1921 in Oklahoma, but moved to California. His father was Roy Phillip Rohman born in 1899, in Nebraska. That is pretty much all the information I have. If anyone has any further information it would be greatly appreciated.

Herman Rohman

2001-01-06 21:12:06Z

I am search for information about my great, great grandfather, Herman Rohman. I don't have much information about him. He was married to a Marie Miller. He fathered 11 children. One of which was my great grandfather, Louis. (See message about Frederick Louis Rohman). Last name may have been spelled Rohmann. I'm not sure when the second "n" was dropped. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Frederick "Louis" Rohman Sr.

2001-01-06 20:42:30Z

I am looking for additional information on my great grandfather. He was born in St. Louis in 1876. He was one of 11 children. He fathered 3 boys of his own: Milton, Louis Jr. and Fred. He died in 1964 in St. Louis. Married to Rosa Maria (Sheu) Rohman. Last name was once spelled Rohmann. If any one could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Art Rohman

2001-01-03 15:43:40Z

Annie--I am sure now that we are on different tracks. I thought there was a possibility of our Arthurs being the same, with Art changing his name spelling because of the family scandel. The Arthur Rohmann I am looking for is an older brother to my grandmother who I know was born in 1880 in Germany. The one I am looking for was born in the 1870s. Your help in finding his birthday helped me to eliminate him. I really appreciate all your help. It is possible that mine stayed in the furniture-upholstry business in the Philadelphia area or went back to Mass where family once found him after running off with investment money and the maid--he is our colorful uncle. Thanks again. Ellen

Art Rohman

2001-01-03 08:38:40Z

Ellen, Sorry it took me this long to respond.
I dont know that much about Art Rohman. I was young,,,10-19 yrs old. I know he was the bartender and owned Rohman's in Shohola Pa. during the 60's. Every one use to go there after church on Sundays. It was a very popular thing to do then. He was very popular in the area. He was a big man who smoked a cigar. I remember him very well. You should go there and ask about him. There are some very old books in the saloon from the 60's. A lot about him. My parents and grandparents knew him. They have all passed away. I could give you directions. My husband and I still visit the saloon. It's located on the Delaware River across the river from Barryville Ny. (near Port Jervis) Hope this helps. Annie

Re: Frederick "Louis" Rohman Sr.

ocnsnd — 2003-05-17 03:21:37Z

I saw this Rohmann family in the 1880 census. The Louis you refer to was 5 or 6 years old then, which would have put him at the same as my ggrandfather Louis Rohmann would have been in 1880. Some names ring a bell, others don't. Let's keep in touch in case one of us hits the jackpot!

lthornton0203 — 2003-03-01 08:23:06Z

Hopefully you are still active on the Ancestry.com message board since this original message is so old. I am researching a Herman Rohmann family with many of the same or similar names that you have listed. The difference is that my Henry Rohmann family was in St. Louis, MO at the time of the 1880 Census. Henry is listed with wife Louisa, children Henry, Annie (that would be the same age as your Anna), Willie, Lena, Ernst, Henrietta, Herman, and Louis. I am descended from Henrietta who married John Bennett on April 25, 1896 in St. Louis, MO. They had two children -- Ruth Elizabeth and Esther. I am just curious as to wether we could descend from the same family -- and if so, have you been able to come up with more information on the Rohmann family? I am just beginning my search and most of my information is word-of-mouth from family members. Very few hard facts with verifiable sources. The marriage date is accurate because my mother has John and Henrietta's marriage certificate. If you don't respond back soon, I will try your e-mail address directly.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Re: Frederick "Louis" Rohman Sr.

lthornton0203 — 2003-03-01 08:12:55Z

I am just starting my search for ancestors with the last name of Rohmann. Your message caught my eye because of your reference to Louis Rohman born in St. Louis with a father named Herman. My GGrandmother was Henrietta Rohmann, whose father was Herman and who had a younger brother named Louis. I found an 1880 Census record in St. Louis that lists the family I think belongs to me. Father-Herman, Mother-Louisa, Children: Henry,Annie,Willie, Lena, Ernst, Henrietta, Herman and Louis. Henrietta married John Bennett on April 25, 1896. They had 2 children -- Ruth Elizabeth and Esther. My grandmother is Ruth Elizabeth Bennett Blenden and told stories about her favorite Uncle Louie. The information I have is that he worked for Busch Beer Co. This is about all the information I have on my Rohmann(Rohman) ancestors. Could we be from the same family -- and if so -- have you been able to come up with any more information about this family? I will appreciate any information you are willing to share.

Victoria Nass died and Valentine Rohman married Gertrude Waldschmidt. They had 12 children one of which was Theodore Leo Rohman who was my great grandfather.

Valentine Rohman immigated from Bavaria, Germany in 1846 with his father Peter Rohman and his mother Anna Ranhold.
