Hi Listers, I'm looking for information on Karl, Carl, Charles Schneider and wife Elizabeth Kirchherr Schneider. They had a son Oscar J. Schneider b. at Peoria 1 Sep 1868. Karl the father was a traveling minister, probably Methodist (German?). Would there be a birth record for Oscar? Are there church records to verify Karl's profession? This search has been frustrating because children were born at Muscatine & Tipton IA as well as Peoria & Keithsburg IL. We don't know the birthplace of two other children. Appreciate any help or suggestions, Bev Grumm
