bernhard schillinger, iowa
if this appears more than once, please pardon...i'm trying to locate relatives of bernhard (bernard) schillinger, born august 20, 1826 in baden, germany...he traveled from antwerp on the ship mercury and arrived in new york on 18 september, 1854...the story my grandfather always told that there was a brother from whom he became separated...at any rate, bernhard, as best as i know, went to illinois, married mary ann meyer (not sure where), also born in baden, and had five children...the first two, christian and jacob, were born in illinois...the other three, kate, theresa, and christine, were born in iowa...the family homesteaded near stacyville, iowa...anyone recognize any part of this story?thanks much
