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
