This blog was created to inform the descendants of George Ringer and Ida Scharnikow about information concerning their ancestors. If you are a long lost relative... I'd love to hear from you. If you have photos, other documents or information about any of the ancestors listed here... I'd REALLY love to hear from you. Thanks!
I'm a grandson of George Ringer and Ida Scharnikow. My interest in American history led me to wonder about the involvement of my ancestors in that history. Actually, I had always been led to believe that all of my relatives had recently immigrated to the U.S. from Germany and Norway, and was disappointed to think that I had missed out on having relatives who lived through the defining moments of American history. I was delighted to recently learn that such was not the case! I now know that I have many ancestors who were in the U.S. before it was a country, and who were involved in the revolutionary effort, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. The search continues.
