My guess/conclusion was because of the common French names in the family background (brother Pierre, others Jean Michele, Jean Paul, etc.) and the high percentage of French being Catholic at that time. I am aware of the state of religious flux at that time. Also, the fact his brother was ordained as a priest led me to the guess that the family may have been Catholic although other religions have priests. I have no proof and that is the information I am looking for.
Frederick/Fritz Schumacher married a Protestant Seelinger from Germany. I assume this is why the family was buried in the German Lutheran Cemetery in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Seelingers/Selingers were both Protestant(many from Lampertheim) and Catholic (many from Ruzelthum), but that is just a generalization.
I will be researching the Luxemboug documents at St. Thomas, but I do not know if there are any that point to the religion, unless there are some birth/baptism documents I have not uncovered yet. I doubt there will records of a "drop-out" by Frederick Schumacher.
