Hi -- please let me know if you have more information on these Schaals -- they're in my family via 2nd marriage. Thank you!
Mary Strassburg/ Strasburg immigrated from Woldegk, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Germany in early 1880s. Her 1st marriage was to Helmuth Dreyer in 1883 in NYC, USA. They had two children, Charles Dreyer and Mary Dreyer.
She remarried William Schaal of New Britian or Meriden, CT probably around 1890 and they had one known son, Frank Schaal. Mary Strasburg Dreyer Schaal then died between 1890 - 1900.
