Thanks for the information on the Schnake website. I'm actually notdirectly related to the Schnake family. I'm descended from Eliza Kleibocker Welp (1835-1905) who was the sister of Anna Kleibocker Schnake (1838-1929). From ships records I've found it appears that Anna came to the U.S. arriving on the ship "Obers" which landed at New Orleans, Louisiana on 22 November 1854. She came with her sister Eliza. Other siblings came over during the next 10 years. I'm hopingto find additional information on Anna Schnake's descendants and willgladly share information I have on the Kleibocker family. Thanks againfor your help.
