I have a Franz Louis Faerber (b. 1840 Sachsen), married to Marie Lesser (b. 12 Jun 1840 Kurhessen). They had at least two children, Franz Louis Jr. (b. abt. 1869 Sachsen) and Marie (b. abt 1872 Sachsen). They emigrated to Michigan 1873-1874.

Franz Louis Faerber Sr.'s parents were Carl Faerber and Rossina Reismann (both b. Sachsen). Marie Lesser's father was M. Lesser, and both her parents were born Kurhessen.

Franz Louis Faerber Sr. had a brother, Franz Moritz Faerber (b. 11 Mar 1847).

Any help on the the Faerber or Lesser lines, particularly with birthplaces, would be greatly appreciated.
