HI STACEY,
Unfortunately, I don't have anything on any other Boerner's other than my great grandfather John Adam Boerner. We have been unsuccessful in tracing any of his ancestor's or brother's or sisters, (if he had any). I have most of the information on his descendents and their families to a certain point.
John Boerner was born in VanFriet Germany in 1837 married Anna Wiener from Eschwege, Germany and their first child Henry was born in Bremen Germany just before they immigrated to the United States around the mid to late 1860's. The family story goes that there was a brother (or it may have been my gread grandfather John) who was supposed to meet in the states, but they were afraid that the German army (who apparently came after men who were supposed to go in the army) was after one of them and when they were paging the other brother, no one answered. My great grandparents settled in Ashton, Illinois, moved from there to Odebolt, Iowa or around Lost Nation. My grandfather married and had 10 children, they eventually settled in Winner, South Dakota in the later part of 1909 or 1910. My great grandparents are buried in Odebolt, Iowa. Several of the Wiener side of the family moved to Minnesota as well as one of my uncles eventually settled there. I am not going to say that it would have been impossible for family connections to have gone to Wisconsin at that time.
One of John Boerner and Anna Boerner's daughter's name was Frederika, she married a man by the name of Floyd Hoff.
Sometimes family names were repeated through their children.
Unless you have some further background information, I don't know if any connection can be made.
Let me know if you can find any common connection.
Diane (Boerner) Yates
