You may get this twice, I started writing this and it dissapeared so I'm starting over.

I had a Great Uncle named Joe Baringer who lived in Mountain Home until he died a few years ago. He was one of my Grandfather's siblings, I never met any of them but there were about 10 of them I think.

My Granfather's name was George and he also had a brother named Charles. I never met any of my Granfathers Brothers so I wouldn't be much help there. Except there was an Enoch, and Ira and several other interesting names. Their father's name was Nimrod. Yea, I know.

My branch of the clan came over from Germany in 1814 and settled in Louisville Kentucky. In fact there's still a street named after them in Louisville.

It would be interesting to find out that we are distant cousins.

I understand that the branch that spell the name with 2 Rs came over earlier, landed in Philadelphia and settled in North Carolina and the Ohio / Pennsylvania /New York area and consider the rest of us hillbillies. You know how Germans are.
My branch was heading for Philadelphia too, but the boat had some problems and had to return to Rotterdam and they had to take a second boat. It was blown off course and ended up in New Orleans. From there they went up the Mississippi and landed in Louisville. From there the kids went in different directions. Ending up in Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Like my Grandfather ended up going from Iowa to Kansas and Joe who ended up in Idaho.

Joe was My Dad's favorite Uncle and they spent a lot of time together. Joe was my Grandad's youngest brother and was close to my Dad's age. I never had the opportunity to talk to my Dad about him because he (my Dad Paul) was Killed in Germany in WWII shortly after I was born.

This has turned into more than I had expected it to but I hope you find it interesting and maybe some of the names may seem familiar to you.
