My great grandfather Carl Fuchs b.28Dec1866 married Louise Burdinski b.02Oct1873 about 1899.Carl was from Prussia and Louise East Prussia.They had nine children, six of which were born in Germany.They emigrated from Gelsenkirchen in 1910 to Decatur, IL.The 1920 Census shows them as Fox.I am not sure what year the name changed.Anyone else working on this line?Good luck with your search!
