John Biever was born in France (per 1880 census) in 1819. Elizabeth Boos was born in Luxembourg (per 1880 census) in 1826. Children at time of census were: Elizabeth, born in WIS, 20 in 1880 Susan, born in WIS, 16,in 1880 Anna, born in WIS, 14 in 1880 John, born in WIS, 11 in 1880 Peter, born in WIS, 8 in 1880. My G Grandmother is Susan and she married Joseph Gottwald Schenk and they had 5 children. They emmigrated to Canada in 1906. He died in 1907 and she in 1928. She married again after the death of Joseph, but had no children with her second husband. I have all descendants from her first marriage in my tree. Some of their children remained in Canada and others later returned to the US. I believe that one of her sibliings also came to Canada at or around the same time, but I have not yet been able to confirm. I am extremely interested in making contact with other members of this family and would be delighted to hear from anyone who has further information.
