Schneider Family in Switzerland pre 1900
We have just begun our search for my wife's family (Schneider). They came from Switzerland with some of the family living in and around Basel in the late 1800s.
The oldest informationthat we have is of her Great Grandfather, Fredrick Schneider born about 1870-1875. Fredrick married Anna Rauber and their son,Ernst Alfred Schneider, born 1897, is my wife's Grandfather.
Ernst Alfred married Elizabeth (Elly) Stegmeier also from Switzerland. The immigrated to the USA in about 1919. They had one son, Richard Herbert Ernest Schneider, my wife's Father.
Any info on the Schneider or Stegmeier families will be appreciated.
