To Margaret, who is requesting info about ERNSDORFF: I know of a Loretta ERNSDORF, (1887-1976)who married Edward SCHROEDER, in my line. Edward founded the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra. They lived in Dubuque all their lives and had 5 children--Edward Wendell, who was Secretary to the Archbishop of Dubuque in the 1940s, Ruth, Howard, Richard, Alfred, and Willard. Any connection?

Jean, Yes, Loretta ERNSDORFF is related. She had 2 sisters, Angeline and Alvina. They would be my first cousins, once removed. Their father, Michael, is the brother of my grandfather, and their parents, John and Elizabeth, came to WI from Luxembourg in 1854, moving to Dubuque in the 1860s. I knew about Loretta's marriage to Edward SCHROEDER and his founding of the Orchestra, (believe that I have his obit.) but don't have data on him, or their children. If you have any more that you would share, I would be grateful. What is your connection to Edward?
