Looking for parents of Martin Boschert who came to US and settled in Alton, Madison Co, IL. Married Cecilia (maiden unsure - could be Conn, Gerbitz or Gerwitz). Martin and Cecilia had 8 children: Edward, Cecily, Martin Jr, Mariam, Rose, Cacilia, Therese, and Frank. Know for sure that only four of these children lived to adulthood, married and had children of their own: Edward (Mary Ann Burg), Martin Jr (Bridget Convery), Mariam (Gabriel White) and Rose (John Girth). Martin had a brother Bernhard who was in Alton for a while and then moved to St. Charles Co MO. Believe that Martin and Bernhard are related to the Boschert's who settled in St. Charles Co MO but cannot make any connection.
