David;
No known Albert in our Buerger line to date, but my maternal gr'gr'parents, Michael(Mikel?) Buerger & wife Christina (NE unknown), were born in 1821 & 1827 in Prussia & came to US appx mid 1860's w/4 children Frederick,August,Emilie,& Augusta/ine. Reportedly to have landed in NO & came by Mississippi River to MO, settling in the German community of Richland twp, (Morrison) inGasconade Co, MO. Btw 1870-1880 the Surname was changed to Burger re' Gasconade Co, census & another dau' Anna was born, mother Christina apparently died in childbirth.The oldest son Fred'(1844-1917) changed his name to Berger & married Ellen Bromley/Brumley (a Native American) in 1871 & later settled in Saline Co, MO.
Any link/further info re' above would be appreciated & most welcome.
