Emil Schreiber - b. 1846 d. 1899 Chicag

Your names caught my attention.I have an Emil Schreiber who married Clara Moeller.My Emil was born 29, December 1846 in Germany and died April 9, 1898 in Chicago, Ill,.Clara was born October 18, 1847 in Saxon Germany and died February 26, 1928 in Kenton, KY. Their children were Magdalena (my great grandmother and the youngest), Paul, Charlie, Louise, Annie, Freda and Bruno (I believe Bruno's first name was Emil).Only 2 of the children were born here in the US. They were my greatgrandmother Lena (aka Magdalena) and her sister Annie.Freda was the oldest.My G-grandmother lived to 104 yrs.She had many stories and my grandmother(her daughter) is still living and in her 80's. The name Emma has come up when speaking with my grandmother. At first I thought it was one of the children, but have not been able to connect it yet.My grandmother told me one child died on the way over from Germany on the boat to America. The Emma name has been spoken about with this family. I actually recently found out the real spelling of Clara's maiden name as I obtained her death certificate.I was hoping the informant would be one of the older children, as they may have known her maiden name.Son Charlie was the informant and he spelled her maiden name as Moeller.Clara's father was Aug. Moeller and her mother was listed as Louise Yunkelhaus.I belive the line your researching is my line.I have photos of where Emil and Clara are buried and actually have 1 picture of Emil.Please contact me.So far I do not know who Emil's parents are and have not yet had a good avenue for Clara's.Research has been harder for me over in Europe records. Please forward info on your Emma.I will speak with my grandmother and her sister to see if they recall anything else.
