Hi!
I just found your information at the following web site for the Sellers
Family.
http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellerfamily/ohseneca.htm
My 2 x great-grandfather was the fifth child of John Scheer and
Elizabeth Zeller. He was Frederick Charles Scheer (1847-1918).
Frederick belonged to the 41st OVI, Co. D during the last year of
the
Civil War. Frederick was married twice. 1) Mary Agnes Kane
in Chicago,
Illinois and 2) Anna Leach in Sycamore, Illinois. Fred and
Mary had 3
children; Charles, John and Nellie. Fred and Anna had one
son, Fay. I
am the great-granddaughter of John Scheers (his father added an
s to the
end of the surname) and Theresa Schmaus. John came to Alberta
in c.
1896 to search for gold. He eventually became a farmer and
settled in
Ardrossan, Alberta.
My web page has a lot more information on this family. I would
love to
share information with you. Please contact me at:
