Surnames: Frei Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WMB.2ACE/4898 Message Board Post: Looking for family of Charles Emil Frei, accordingly came from Germany as an orphan through St. Louis. I'm sorry I don't know the year. He married Evoline Byington according to one researcher, however the census in NY in 1930 by his son Wilhelm says his father was German and his mother Irish. His date of birth is about 1874, if anyone can give me a direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
