Looking for the parents of my Grandfather

From what I'm told, his parents were Lawerence Holzhauer and Nellie Holzhauer (maiden name Albrecht)

 

I've searched for birth/death certificates online and came up with nothing.  A search in Google also reveals little.

I stumbled across this before, but discounted it because everything I've ever seen had it spelled "Lawrence", including on his birth certificate. The rest of the details seem like they're possible, and probably correct.

It will be easier for someone to help you if you could give some dates (even just approximate dates) and locations.

I don't have much at all, sorry.  My grandfather was born in 1911 and his brother in 1913.  I know both of his parents died not too long after his brother was born, but I have no idea when.
