Did you have any luck locating Franz Anton Schroer? I have quite a bit of information about
him and some of his descendants. I believe that he is a relative (brother, uncle, grandfather??)
of Bernard Henrich Schroeer (Schroer) born around 1800 in Oldenburg, Germany; married
Anna Maria Lechtenberg born 3/6/1800 in Westfalen, Prussia. Bernard and Anna Maria's son,
Gerhard Henrich Schroeer was born 8/6/1821 in Westfalen Prussia, died 4/26/1889, buried in
Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Millhousen IN along with his wife Maria Elizabeth _______.
I believe he came to the USA in 1859, with his son, George Gerhard (Henry G) Schroer, who
was 9 years at the time. George Gerhard Henry Schroer settled in Cincinnati, married Anna
Catherine Bittner Schroer and worked as a shoemaker until his death in 1909. She was
born 1/18/1852, died 8/17/1948, Both are buried in Calvary Cemetary in Cincinnati.
Do you know of any connection between Bernard Henrich Schroeer and his descendants to
Franz Anton Schroer and his family? I would be happy to forward the information I have on
Franz and would appreciate anything information you can give me about Bernard Henrich
Schroeer (Schroer).
