Hi, Ellen, Thanks. I found this group -- not sure if they are related or not. But Dawn A. (whose family is associated heavily with mine throughout our history in Brookfield) wrote to say that she found that a Johann Kerber buried at Wauwatosa was the husband of Fredericke Brede. This Fredericke Brede, b. 1849, was the sister of my 2x great grandfather Wilhelm, who is buried at Oak Hill, and Theodore Senior, buried at Wauwatosa. She is the daughter of the "old Bredes" whose information you sent me a couple of weeks back, and (according to info Wauwatosa sent me a few days ago, based upon your help) is buried with them. Where were Johann Kerber and Fredericke in 1880? Were they in Milwaukee or Waukesha County in 1878 when Fredericke's father died / was buried at Wauwatosa? I think most likely they were. More soon.
