Looking for the SCHADE family of Kure Hesse -- where are they from? On census forms they show as from Hesse Cassel, Hesse Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany, but I can't narrow it down. Family Search apparently hasn't covered this area yet. Someone on ancestry shows them from Hersfeld-Rotenburg, but there's no documentation. Another person has suggested Sterkelshausen or Richelsdorf in the same area. My family were coal miners, and Richelsdorf is apparently a mining area. Below is what I believe to be the family, though most is circumstantial. ALL these people were living in Hazleton, Luzerne Co, PA starting in 1857, and some immigrated together. 1 x Schade b: Hessen-Kassel (or Kure Hesse), Germany ...... + x b: Hessen-Kassel (or Kure Hesse), Germany ............2 Johannes Schade b: 21 Nov 1829 in Kurhessen, Germany, d: 01 Jul 1897 in Hazleton, Luzerne Co, PA ............2 Conrad Schade b: 16 Jan 1832 in Kurhessen, Germany, d: 02 Aug 1883 in Hazleton, Luzerne Co, PA ............2 Anna Maria Schade b: 23 Nov 1834, d: 20 Sep 1865 in Hazleton, Luzerne Co, PA ............2 George Johannes Schade b: 1838 in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany ............2 Christian Schade b: Dec 1840 in Kurhessen, Germany, d: 18 Sep 1904 in Hazleton, Luzerne Co, PA ............2 Nicholaus Christopher Schade b: 01 Jan 1843 in Kurhessen, Germany, d: 10 Aug 1902 in Hazleton, Luzerne Co, PA ............2 Anna Elizabeth Schade b: 1845, d: Jan 1904 in PA ............2 Veronika Schade b: Nov 1853 in Germany ............2 Daniel Schade Johannes, Conrad, and George immigrated together; their specific connection is unknown, but presumed to be brothers. Other people came in the 1860s. I know that Christian, Nicholaus, and Veronika are siblings. ALL of these "siblings" sponsored baptisms of each other's children, which supports a close relationship. Any help greatly appreciated! Sharon
