I am looking for information on the family of Fred Schumacher (b. abt 1868 in Switzerland)and his wife Rosa Karlen Schumacher (b. 1867 in Switzerland). They were married on 31 Aug 1886 in Monroe. It appears that they are buried in Greenwood Cemetery along with several members of their family.

I have the children as: Louisa (b. abt 1888), Lena (b. abt 1891), Fred Jr. (b. abt 1894), William S. (b. 1902) and Rose/Rosa A. (b. 1906) and there may be more.

Any information you can provide on this family will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you...anything about this family is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for this info also. As my grandma tells this story, one of the siblings drown before coming to America. I always thought it was Fred, and never did much research on him. Christian immigrated with the kids, but did his wife, Anna Karlen die in Switzerland? Also, did friend marry a Karlen related to his mother? I'd be happy to share any info that could help you as well (Christian is my 3rd great grandfather).
