Quick check: Yeah it looks like they emigrated from Glandorf, Hanover, Germany to Glandorf, Ohio. I stumbled across this book as well. https://www.amazon.com/generations-Theodore-Ellerbrock-Glandorf-Germany/dp/B0006FCKCK

Answer 2

Welcome to WikiTree! I was able to find a Ellerbrock from Glandorf here on the site https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ellerbrock-86, though I'm not sure if this is one of the people you are referring to because its Glandorf, Germany and the place in Ohio is Ottawa. Maybe they named a new place in Ohio after their old town in Germany?
