Karl Herman Lobner and Francis Adams Lobner Photo and Story Gallery

Karl Herman Lobner and Francis Magdalene Adams are Cory’s maternal great-grandparents and the parents of his grandfather Alex Lobner.

Karl Herman is an immigrant from Germany and immigrated in 1907 from Goldhausen, Mittelsachsen, Saxony, Germany. I have some research done on their location in Germany can can share that information as desired. Until we can hire an in-person researcher, further study on the family in Germany is on hold.

We have found it challenging that Karl Herman will sometimes use Karl and sometimes Herman on any paperwork. This site gives some good information on German naming customs and maybe why he would have switched back and forth.

Francis’ family is also German, and needs further research to determine their exact origins.
