Hi List Members, Help from anyone on the list would be appreciated. I have been trying to find information on my g grandmother for about 4 years, the only thing I have is a death certificate. Her name was Elizabeth Schumer, she came from Germany. I got a ship passenger list from the National Archives which list an Elizab Schumer with her mother, Marge, father Nicol and sisters Anna and Marie. They came on Ship Denis, Place of origin, Luxemburg, they came to Castle Garden in N. Y., 22 NOV 1855. I hope this is my Schumer family. One other piece of info is from LDS, Elisabeth Schumer, Birth, About 1834 of, Leipzig, Sachsen, Death, After 1854. These dates are very close to dates for my Elizabeth. My g grandmother married Jean(John) Martin Courrege, he came to N. O. LA, from France in 1845. Elizabeth must have gone to LA right away, because they married and lived in Arabi where my grandfather was born in 1856 - 1857, his name was Bertrand John Courrege, he had a younger brother named Simon Octave who became an M.D. In New Orleans. My problem is this; 1. I have not been able to find out where Elizabeth came from, other than Germany 2. A marriage license for Elizabeth and John 3. A birth certificate for my grandfather. Elizabeth died in 1865 in N. O. LA, and I think I have found her grave in Lafayette Cem #1. John died in 1910 in N. O. but am not positive where he is buried. Help from anyone will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Gayle in N. J. jschengrund@earthlink.net
