Not sure what you already have. Are you on Ancestry? Actual pictures of him. Also a tree. 

Spouse:	Cora Pelura Lamb
Father:	Albert Haman
Mother:	Henrietta Haman
Children:	Clifford Theodore
Birth:	Apr 1870 New York, USA

Residence:	1870 Buffalo, Erie, New York, USA Minnesota Marriage Index

Name	Charles Ernie Aman
Spouse	Cora Lamb
Marriage	Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota 17 Jul 1895

Cora remarried after his death to Victor Peterson. In 1880 census, residing in Owego Tioga NY w/ parents listed above. The family is listed as mulatto, father black. Haman is the last name. 1900 1910 census, ssa on dau edith, birth rec for Theodore & Rose, Bessie

If you make his profile I can add a few things. You may find some of these records on family search.

Comments

Thank you. I knew of his marriage and children. I think Theodore left for Germany and never came back to the states. Rosetta was my grandmother. She was born in 1896 and died in 1919. She is buried next to her father in Parker's Lake cemetery in Plymouth, MN.
