He is the great grandfather of my grandchildren and I am trying to get a family history for them. Their grandfather also is August Schaner and father is Bruce Schaner of Grand Rapids. Do you have any information on the Schaners. I have been given info on Joseph and Catherine Schaner(Schoenher) in Oceana Co but I understand the family was from Detroit and in the oil business when the mafia moved in and they moved to Hart MI and changed the spelling of the name. I know there is a street in the Detroit area called Schoenherr St. Any history before Joseph would sure help me. If I can be of any help to you I would be glad to share what I have. MaryAnn
