Catherine Beisner was born in 1844 in Germany and immigrated to New York. In 1862 she married John Christopher Schierloh who was also a German immigrant to New ork City. The couple had five children.
Catherine had a brother who immigrated to New York with her. His name was Henry Beisner.
The Beisner family and Schierloh families of the first generations are buried in the Lutheran Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens, New York. I am loking for the descendants of Henry Beisner. Many of his descendants are supposedly still in the New York area and Hudson River Valley area.
