EWERT family:    They came to Cleveland from somewhere in Germany (we think Prussia).       Parents: August EWERT (b Dec 1839 or 23 Feb 1840) wife: Wilhelmine [SIESS or SU^TY?](b 12 Mar 1847) arrived together 1899       Children: Julius EWERT ---> EVERETT (b 24 Feb 1867) m 1891 in Cleveland, Wilhelmina [~ 25 versions of her surname in the records ranging from BART to OBAROWSKY](b 13 Oct 1874) Julius arrived 1891; Wilhelmina's arrival?    August-2 EWERT ---> EVERT (b Aug 1867 or 25 Feb 1869) m Bertha PAPKE (b~Dec 1877) after arrival August-2 arrived 1892; Bertha?    The following children came together to Cleveland with parents August & Wilhelmine in 1899:       Elisabeth EWERT (REINHOLZ SCHRO^DER/SCHROEDER) (b 5 May 1872) husband: Gottfried/Frederick SCHROEDER (b 6 Oct 1872)         Children:    Herman REINHOLZ (b~1894)    Julius REINHOLZ (b~1896)    Paul SCHROEDER (b~1898)    Otto August SCHROEDER (b 26 Sep 1899)       Auguste EWERT (GRUNSCHALSKI MAHDAL) (b 24 Aug 1877 or 24 Aug 1880) husband: Wilhelm/William GRUNSCHALSKI (b Jun 1875) [this name has been difficult to research as it's spelled in multiple ways - this spelling is on the headstone of a small son that died in 1912]    Child: Anna (b Jul 1899) GRUNSCHALSKI (b Jul 1899)    Herman EWERT ---> EVERT (b 29 Mar 1883) single    Fritz/Fred EWERT ---> EVERT ---> EVERETT (b 29 Mar 1883) single    Although the passenger manifests say that all could read and write, I have my doubts. The family seemed not to keep records, or record information, or, at worst, they had short-term memory problems! Examples: the surnames of the two Wilhelmines are recorded in various ways and family birth dates frequently don't match up on earlier documents with the death certificates.    Thanks, Julia
