An historical and
genealogical investigation of the Schierberg family who emigrated from
Neuenkirchen in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg to the United States and
Cincinnati in 1835. In addition to notes on ancestry, the book covers the
Schierberg family from emigration through the death of the youngest immigrant
sibling Catharine Schierberg Braunstein in 1906. A significant portion of the
book details findings about the family places of business, a residence, and
parish church pictured along the Cincinnati riverfront in the 1848 Cincinnati
Panorama daguerreotypes by Fontayne & Porter, and includes images from the
Panorama.

pages, 132 pages of text and images, and 24 pages of genealogy reports and a
