Welcome to the McSherry-Karau Family homepage. This page contains information on the McSherry, Karau, Scharmann, Boettger, Burrell, and Beam familes (as well as many others).
At present we are trying to confirm the parents of Joseph McSherry (1793-1872) and learn the parents of Christoph Boettger (1815-1892). If can help, please let us know!
