I have alot of information to share.
I recently was sent information about family members buried at the Wauwatosa Cemetery. In the plot with my 3x great grandparents BREDE are buried the KERBER family. I am unable to find this family in the Milwaukee County or Waukesha County census for 1880. My great aunt knew the KERBERS and mentions Ida Kerber and her husband (I am pretty sure this is William, buried together at Wauwatosa) along with Ida BORTZ and her family coming to the Brede farm in Brookfield in 1922 or 23. But I am not certain if the Kerbers are family members, as I suspect they may have been. This is important to me because I am trying to discover where my 3x great grandparents Carl FREDERICK BREDE and his wife Fredericke BREDE, geb. EREDIA / IREDI, both born in Mecklenburg Schwerin, lived in the late 1870's (when Mr. Brede died) and on into 1891 (when his wife died.) Any information on this family would be appreciated.
