He was married to Elizabeth Hilgar they had numerous children two had died as infants.
one of his children is my grandfather, Raymond Walter Sr. I am looking for any information on who his parents were. I found him at age 12 in and 1880 census staying with his aunt and uncle Charles and Catherine Dorenman. His parents came from Brandenburg, Germany. I could not find them any where after that. Is there any possible way that you could even give me the slightest clue. I wonder why he stayed with his Aunt and Uncle. if you have any information please contact me at willow7292@msn.com
Thank you
