I was wondering if anyone had additional family tree information regarding Frank Esker and his parents. His father was Gotlip Esker, and his mother was Mary J (unknown maiden name). I wish to find out more informaiton on him. I know that he was born in Germany around 1845 in Germany. He served in the Civil War in the Ohio infantry, and he died in Effingham County, Illinois. I am wondering if he is somehow related to Mathias Esker, or what his mother's maiden name was? If anyone can intersect their family tree with my mine I would surely appreciate the informaiton!
