Verderbers in Cleveland (from Kerndorf)

Hi, everyone -

I'm descended from Joseph and Marie Verderber from Kerndorf who settled in Cleveland with most of their 11 children around the turn of the last century (with a brief stop in Brooklyn, NY). Many of Joseph's siblings and their children also settled in Cleveland at the same time (also via Brooklyn). So, I have lots of names, birth dates, spouses' maiden names but I'm having a tough time sorting everything out between the two generations and the cousins because of duplicate names and overlapping birth date ranges. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are the *confirmed* relationships:

Joseph Verderber (from Kerndorf) married Marie (from Plaski) - emigrated from Kerndorf with children:

1) Magdalena Verderber (b. 1886 - stayed in Brooklyn)
2) Aloysius (b. 1871/72) m. Josephine Gode (b. ~1883) - Cleveland
3) Helena (b. 1881) m. John Fitz (b. 1869 in Gottschee - second wife. First wife was Mary Deposheg) - Brooklyn

Then things get fuzzy because we don't have a confirmed list of the rest of the siblings, but I believe them to be:

Rudolph Verderber (b. ~1877) m. Anna _____ - Cleveland
Joseph Verderber m. Josephine Kinkopf - Cleveland
Alois Verderber (b. ~1897) m. Mary Krische - Cleveland
Anton Verderber m. Mary Schmuck - Cleveland
George Verderber
Franz Verderber
Mary Verderber
Florence Verderber
Anna Verderber

Additionally, there were Verdervers (note spelling) living next door to John Fitz and Helena Verderber in New York:
Joseph Verderver b. ~1868 married to Josephine
Joseph Verderver (b. ~1876) m. to Mary

If anyone can help please contact me.

Thanks,

Jean
