I am searching for ancestor, descendants or other relatives of Samuel Schenk and his wife Katherina Maurer. Samuel's first or middle name could have also been Andreas. He was born on April 26, 1860 in Hetzeldorf, Transylvania. Hetzeldorf is also called Eczel or Atel. Samuel died on January 02, 1915, possibly in World War I. Katherina Maurer was born June 30, 1868 in Hetzeldorf. Her name was spelled a variety of ways with a K or C She died on January 26, 1953 in Cleveland, Ohio. They had 4 sons Samuel, Daniel, Andrew, and Michael and 1 known daughter, Susane(spelled various ways)and possibly another daughter named Katherina or Kateline. Samuel, Katherina, Samuel jr, Susanne and Kateline or Katherina came to Ellis Island on the ship "Trave" from Bremen, Germany. They arrived on March 25, 1898 and later settled in Monaca, Pennsylvania, where Daniel was born on July 18, 1898. For reasons unknown, it is believed they moved back to Hetzeldorf and then some members of the family moved back to America. Daniel was is the Romanian army in World War I.
