Hello Jan,
I hope the following information assists you and Dawn.
Johann Schiller (John) arrived on the ship India from Hamburg to NY Dec. 2, 1883.
The ship roster lists them as SCHELLA. This doesn't change until later census records clear up the misspelling of the name.He arrived with wife Wilhelmine and sone Friederich, 5 and daughter Bertha, .9.
He is 37 at arrival, Wilhemine, 27.
In the 1900 census of Wood Co. WI they are listed with son, Frederich,b.1880 Germany
Bertha b. 1882 Germany
August b.1884 (census says Germany but since they arrived in 1883, he was born here)
Herman, b. 1888 WI
Adolf b. 1890 WI
Charles b. 1892 WI
Emma b. 1896 WI
John Karlosky father-in-law b. 1825 Germany
Johann, later John was my husband's gr. grandfather. The Freiderich, born in Germany, my husband's grandfather.
My husband's father was Rudolph Schiller and spoke of his uncles, including Herman.
Johann Schiller was one of 3 brothers who arrived in WI from Germany.The other 2 are Carl and Christoph.
I have additional information.
