Two brothers, Peter and Frank Scheer came to Cleveland, Ohio around the 1870's. Peter was a tailor and Frank a boot fitter. There is a Mathius Scheer (he was older...maybe an uncle) and Anna Scheer buried in the family plot. Mathius may have lived in the Wisconsin area. Peter and Frank are believed to be from Zell, Germany on the Mosel. It is heresay that we are related to Admiral Scheer. Their parents were Josef Scheer and Elizabeth Weitz or Wirtz. Can you make a connection? Also researching Backus, Lang, De Witt, Shrode, Fecher Mary Beth
