AbstractDescribes the resources, strategies, and thought processes used by the author to find a place of origin for the Strandt family. Ottilie Strandt was the name of the wife of Robert Ziemer, the author's great-grandfather, but no information on Ottilie's birthplace was available. It was known that Robert Ziemer had come from Koerlin, Kreis Kolberg-Koerlin, Pomerania, and had immigrated before he married Ottilie Strandt. The couple and their descendants lived in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, for generations.
