Francois Anton Joerger emigrated to the USA in 1851 at the port of New Orleans. He went to Brooklyn, New York. He became a citizen, married Catherine E. Fischer and had George, Lizzie, Edward Anthony and possibly a child named Louise. Louise may have been adopted or maybe a relative. She is listed as a daughter in NY 1870 census, age 13 born in Germany. Not sure she was actually daughter. The youngest child, Edward Anthony Yoerger was born in 1881. He was my grandfather. He moved to Massachusetts and on Jan. 16, 1907 married my grandmother, Beatrice Ramona Allen. They lived in Medford, Chelsea and eventually moved to Quincy, MA. They had 7 children; Marion Catherine, Kenneth Edward (my father), William Henry, Doris Ramona, Beatrice Florence, Allen Russell and Norma Agnes. My grandfather, Edward Anthony died on Jan 1, 1930. I am having difficulty finding information about Catherine E. Fischer and the information on Francois Anton Joerger is somewhat limited. If you have any information I would be very grateful if you shared it with me. Thanks
