German City

At the library, in a staff of perhaps 150, there are women named Irma, Erma, Ingeborg, and Elna.

Cincinnati is a German city!

(I have only met Erma, and she is probably in her 40s; no idea on other ages but as they are all fairly senior positions, probably also on the older end. I got emails from Erma, Irma, and Ingeborg all in one day, and then had to go looking through the staff list for others. In related but not close enough to lead with news, there are also a Lorna and an Edith.)

Oh, and actual baby born: Margaux Joelee, to Sarah and Jody (m.).

I will try to remember to ask Mom for the address tomorrow. I don't think it was all that enormous of a house, though it was a five or six-adult household at various points (both ggparents had unmarried sisters and mothers, and they all cohabitated. It was apparently a very very girly environment when Nana was growing up. By which I mean a total matriarchy.)
