Mary and Xavier Birchmeier

My husband's family has the name Birkmeier. They all settled in Delphos, Ohio after coming from Europe. We trace only as far back as John Birkmeier and wife Catherine.He was born in 1858. We don't know if they immigrated or if it was John's parents.John had a successful monument business that still is operative today and has a website. All of this leads to that Delphos, Ohio is very close to the Indiana border (north of Lima, Ohio)and it definitely raises flags as to if their is a relation to your Indiana family. Is it possible that the spelling was changed in America? I believe John started his business in the early 1880's.
John's children were: Otto Joseph, Julia R., Frederick Blasius (my husband's gggrandfather), Mary J., and Leo.
Let me know what you think.
