Hi Stormin Norman and welcome to RootsChat!!

I checked on the 1871 census and there was a Sugar Baker from "Anniverian Germany" - on the same page - but I'm wondering if they were trying to say -  "Hanovarian"  ??? ??? ???

Just a thought!

Annie  :)

Hi Annie,

Good thinking !!

A Hanovarian, someone who comes from Hannover in Germany - that makes a lot of sense !

I think that this might be two words.

Annin is a place in the USA

Krian is a place name and a family name.

So is it a missprint or is it not in Germany. 1871 Germany could be a number of places now.
