Hi Received your request as to where my families Scheer's came from. They came from Germany, I don't know a lot about them. My Grandmother and family lived in Rhineland, Missouri, Hermann, Mo, Big Springs, Mo and some may have originally settled in Marthasville, Mo (Warren County) Hope this helps. I want to do more research but have not had the time for past two years or so so can't remember without going thru a lot of paperwork what all I did find out. I do know My Grandmother was a twin, also. Good luck Judy Glatz Atterberry JASell2@aol.com **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
