You can ask your friend if any of this is familiar. There is always a chance we are related. My gr-grandfather was John Conrad Schubert, b, 13 Aug 1834 in Bavaria Prussia. He settled in St. Louis. Don't know the name of John Conrad's parents. Do know he had several brothers and sisters. Those born in Prussia were John, Peter, Eva (Maria) & Henry. George was born in 1844 at sea. Edward (Charlie) and Minnie were born in St. Louis. Thanks. Lorraine
