This photo, circa 1885, is of my great, great grandparents on my father's side. Nicholas was born 5 May 1822 in Oberbexbach, Bavarian Pfalz, Germany and Susannah was born 15 Oct 1814 in Differdange, Canton Differdange, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. She was born about 5 km (3 miles) from my HUMMER great grandparents who were from Niederkorn, Canton Differdange, Luxembourg. The Ardners and the Hummers eventually settled together in Landeck, Allen, Ohio in 1863. By coincidence the Adam family was on the same ship that brought the Ardners to New York. Nicholas stated that he did not know Susanna ADAM in "the old country" or when they were on the ship, but met her when both families initially settled near Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio.
