The Schumacher Family tree split in about 1830
some leaving Germany,
for the Black Sea region ( Odessa, Russia ) now
the Ukraine. Russia promised land, no taxes and no military
for their children. This
sounded good to Joseph Schumacher born 12 March 1811 and his
brother
Thomas both sons of (Mathias Schumacher and Maria Elisabeth Hirsch) due to the region was in economic
turmoil
after Napoleon waging war in the region.
As the Russian government
promises fell with passing years, and the Germans were not welcomed in the
foreign land it become apparent to most they must leave.
In 1885 the Schumacher family split apart again
some staying in Russia with some of their descendants later
returning to
Germany,
research is ongoing what happen to those who did not make the journey to
America.
Franz Schumacher
looking for a new frontier in America uprooted his family
and headed by ship "SS Werra" from Bremen Germany.
North Dakota was giving land away to those who would settle the land and
homestead,
Franz Schumacher was one of the first that pioneered the harsh environment and received his land
grant
in Zeeland North Dakota.
