I am researching many Schroeders that I believe are all connected. Theodore b. abt. 1816 and Johanna b. abt 1827 were the parents of Henry C., Charles F., Louis, William, and August. Based on a census, though, Johanna had 7 children so there may be more. Charles and Louis lived in Perham, MN. Charles did live in Bloomington, IL when he first arrived. Some of Louis' children came to Chicago (thier mother's remarried name was Keidel). Louis' children are Henry, Louis, Walter, and Sylvia. One of Walter's children told me she had an Uncle Henry and Aunt Mary who owned a salon in Skokie. Back to Henry C. It appears he only lived in Chicago. Came with Theodore on a ship in 1869. He was a fireman/Capt. I think his wife was Louisa and children Herman, Wilhelm, Charles, and Lilly. In 1880, Theo, wife, and two youngest are living with Louis in Perham, but I know they end up in Chicago. Theo. dies in Chicago in 1892. Can't tie a William or August to anyone after 1880. There is more, but that's a start. Anyone know this group?
