Hi
My Schumacher's were in Russia in the early 1800's your came from Prussia.
But they may have been in Prussia before that. But I do know before Russia they lived in a German State. They may have stopped in Prussia for a while on the way.
So there may be a link but unless you can get the Prussia church records we'll never know. I'll check my Schumacher file and see if any were born in Prussia.
