I just happened to come across this message and My grandfather was Donald Breier from Bay City, MI and his father was Peter Breier. I live in Bay City and was very close to my grandpa, he passed away in 1998. I know nothing about his father nor does my mother because my grandpa said she could never meet him and that is all he told her, she never met his mother either..I believe her name was Blanche Hart.

If you go through the CA Historical Society. You may be able to order a copy of the original death record. I know you can do it here in MN for a fairly reasonable fee. That should have the name of the cemetery on it. They also should have the different newspaper films on hand and can look you up an obit at the same time.

Sorry...

I was pretty much able to find all of that info. What I can't find is an obit so I can find out where she is buried. Thanks for your input.

Do you by chance, have a Karolina Breier, born in 1844? She married a Stefan Schwartz, but the immigration said that they were from Austria... they are my great-great-grandparents. They may have originally came from Germany (given the German names), but I am not entirely sure... if you have anything regarding these people, could you send me a message?
Thanks!

Hi, William J. Breier was my mother's great grandfather. William and Anna's daughter Cecilia married James Barrett. They moved to Lincoln, Ks and had two children, Alvin and Betty. Alvin married Edith Huffman and had three children. Alvin and Edith are my mother's parents.

We have been trying to find living relatives but with very little luck. We did know Harold Breier of Califonia but lost touch and since found out that he died.

We can be reached at hrspower1980@aol.com.

Family William J. Breier

marybreier — 2008-07-17 18:05:32Z

My great grandfather was William John Breier of West Phalen Germany who married Anna Sustrup. Their children who survived were Katherine, Anna,William, Cecilia, Maime (Bonnie) Albert and John. They lived in St. Joseph, Missouri beginning in the late 1800's where great-granddad played cards with Jesse James until Jesse died.

He was one of three sons born to one father and three wives. His mother died at his birth and the second wife died at the birth of her son.

He is credited with having built St. Francis Xavier in St. Joseph, Missouri. My now deceased uncle remember that a cousin came from Germany inthe 1920's and stayed with them until he took a job as a farm manager. This cousin continued on in school and became a university professor. Please contact Breier@cox.net if you have any information or questions.

Have found more info on Nachmann Brajer which confirmed he took the name Nathan Breier in US. Immigtated June 8, 1910 and upon arrival in NYC lived with a cousin, A. Breier of 467 E Houston Street. His sister Feige arrived a month later an also went to this cousin. Nachmann left behind his wife " Ette in Lokec, P. Litouriska, Galicia"

Lived on Sheriff St in 1920 when his wife Ette and 3 children Chune (male, 15), Golde, 12, & Zilpre (daughter, 10) arrived in US.

In 1930 he was living in Hudson NY with wife "Yetta" and children Gussie, 21, Rose & Dorothy. Gussie is possibly the same as Golde.

Still seeking identity of this Mr. A. Breier of 467 E Houston Street who was their cousin. I did find a record of an Adolph Breier in 1917 at 246 E Houston St registering for the draft, age 25 and single. He is possibly a son or brother of the A Breier I seek.

Additionally looking for info on Kalman Breier the grocer. He was in Hudson by 1910 but find no record of his immigration.

The Breier family group from the Chicago area is quite large.
Who is your husband's parents, and are they from the Chicago area? If so, they are probably part of this family group. We have a lot of information on this family. Valentine Breier is the patriarch who emmigrated from Germany with his wife and one son...the remaining children were born in the U.S. Let me know if this is the same group...
