In Reply to: Verderbers in Cleveland (from Kerndorf) posted by Jean on February 28, 2007 at 21:58:44:

With the help of Jim Heimann and Kate Baum we've sorted out a lot of the misinformation I posted above -- thanks! Disregard the above, here is what is confirmed:

Jacob Verderber born abt. 1849 in Kerndorf#11 married
Josefa (Josephine) Plesche born 1852 in Mitterdorf#16. Their children:

1)Helena Verderber born betw. 1881-1883 in Kerndorf#32 (married John Fitz, born 1869 in Gottschee)

2)Magdalena (my gr-grandmother) born in 1886 in Kerndorf#32, died 1923 in New York (married Johann Anton Andres, born 1881 in Plan, now Czech Republic; died 1918 in New York)

3)Franz Verderber born abt. 1894 in Kerndorf#32.

The rest of the siblings are unconfirmed. Most of the family moved to Cleveland, Magdalena and Helen stayed in NY and perhaps one or two more. We know that some were 'in the Holy Order' so we are looking for nuns and priests as well. If anyone can help we would appreciate it.
