I am looking for any information on my Great Great Grandparents Charles and Clara Dara Herschel. This is how the spelling is on everything I can find in Nevada up to 1900, the German People were famous for chancing the spelling of their names or adjusting them so they would be easier for the American people to spell. Charles Herschel was born in Germany in March of 1839, he arrived in the United States in 1859. Clara Dara Schenner , ( this is what the spelling looks like on her Death Certificate) but when interviewed on their Ranch in Nevada in 1905 her brother was staying with her and his name was Ed Shermar ( as you know people never asked for the correct spelling and spelled names as they sounded, I think this is what creates so many problems for us with the census and any information we look for. Clara Dara Schenner (Schermer, Shermar or anything close I guess) was born in Saxony, Germany in Oct 1845, she arrive in the United States in 1860. In 1900 census it states that they were married 20 years. I am assuming on or both and previous marriges. Clara stated on these census that she had given birth to 6 children who must have been born back east( and 4 were either lost in child birth for died very young or during the trip to Nevada) , we think Ohio. In her obituary she is said to still have 3 sisters living in Ohio. I always heard that they came from Cincinnati, Ohio to Nevada. My Great Grandmother Lillian , Clara's daughter was born in Nevada. My Great Grandmother's brother Arthur was I believe born either in Ohio or along they way.I don't really have any other information. I hope that someone out there has some information that will help me.
