I am looking for an Edward Messersmith born in 1882 in Pennsylvania. His mother's name was Katherine but I do not know his father's name. He married Emma Haines (she was born 1882 in Germany). Edward and Emma had three children, Edward, Leonard and Lois.

Edward's son, Edward married Theola Catherine Miller, they lived in Erie Pennsylvania and had one daughter, who is stil living.

I would really like to find out the first Edward Messersmith's father's name and where in Germany they came from.
