I'm doing research on my husbands family. His GG Grandparents were Peter Schumann and Rosina?. He was born in Prussia around 1828. Rosina around 1837. They came to New York where Peter was a tailor. The family also ran some saloons. In the 1890 NYC directory Rosina is listed as the widow of Peter, residing at 102 First Ave., NYC. They had 6 children, Anthony, John, Louis, Nicholas, Mary, and Fredericka. Louis is the Great Grandfather. He was born in 1868 in Brooklyn, NY. Louis died in 1900 in Brooklyn in a fall from a skyscraper he was working on. He married Christina Gertrude Burr. They had 4 children, Louis, John, Victoria, and Christina. John Schumnn is the Grandfather. He was born in 1893 an died in 1982. He married Eloise Mae Pettmann(?). They had one child Elsie Madeline Schumann. (My husbands mother) Does any of this sound familiar? I haven't been able to find any more information tracing thm back to Prussia. If we are related I would love to hear from you.
