Meg, My grandfather Carl Friedrich (Charles Edward) SCHUBERT was born 19 May 1864 in Schlossvippach, Thuringen, (about 25 miles NW of Schongleina). I believe his father was Frederich Lorenz (Franz-Louis) SCHUBERT, b. 4 Feb 1823 in Schlossvippach. They are listed as passengers (Germans to America) on the ship CLARA from Bremen to Baltimore arriving 05 Aug 1867. (There has been mention of a Frank Schubert in connection with a hotel outside of Baltimore, but no dates.) Charles SCHUBERT married Mettie Ruth LEWIS (b.1866 d.1908) in Cherokee, IA . They had 2 sons, my father Bernard William SCHUBERT b. 01 May 1894 d. Jun 1960 and Homer Marion SCHUBERT. That's the only other mention of Bernhard I've seen.
