I am in search of any info concerning my g grandmothers family. Her maiden name was Wilhelmine (Minnie) WITT, born September 26, 1867in Pomerania. Her parents were Charles (Karl ?) WITT and Marie SCHROEDER. They came to America in 1868 with (at least) 2 daughters, Minnie and her older sister, Maria (Mary) (b. 1865). Minnie married my g grandfather, Christ (Christian KIEL (b. 1866 in(probably) Hesse, Germany) on October 10, 1887 in Milwaukee. They had four daughters: Amanda (m. Louis BUSHER, then m. Robert GEIGER) She had two children, Ralph and Margaret BUSHER. Adaline (m. Willie SHONO, then m. John MEYERS). She had two sons, Willie and Charlie SHONO. Clara(m. Wilhelm KAISER) They had four children, George, Ralph, Charlotte, and William KAISER. Anna (my grandmother) married William Lux. They had5 children, Helen (died in infancy), William, Robert (my dad), Richard, and Walter LUX. Minnie died on October 13, 1945 in Milwaukee. Her sister, Mary Marienthal is the only sibling listed in Minnie's obituary. If anyone knows anything about this family, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Sincerely, Karen Schrade kschrade@concentric.net

My ggrandfather Henry Otto Louis BROECKER, his brother Frederick William Theodore BROECKER and Fred's wife Bertha SCHROEDER departed Bremen Germany in April 1868 and arrived in New York City in May 1868 with their destination Wisconsin. They had lived in Pommerania. Very shortly they moved to the areas of Kankakee and Chicago IL. Is there any connection to your SCHROEDER.

Hi Ed, There very well could be a connection through Bertha, but i sure don't know what it is. Do you know anything about Bertha Schroeder? Did she have siblings? The only other thing I know about my g g grandmother, Marie Schroeder Witt is that she had a brother, Christian. His son was Walter Schroeder who built the Schroeder hotel. if you know more about Bertha Schroeder I'd like to hear about her.
