Looking for information on parents of Louis Albert Trask, who was born in Yonkers, NY, on July 7 of about 1891

Question

He was my grandfather. He married Mildred Stephens. They had 3 children: Mildred Trask Reynolds, Howard Stephens Trask, and Evelyn Ebeling.

Louis' mother reportedly was a German immigrant. His father's mother also was supposedly a German immigrant.

Seems to be George and Louisa - not German immigrants
