SCHURHAMMER, TRICHLER (or TRITCHLER) DEMING, LEE, CURTIS, POMEROY, HUBER mainly out of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois; Schurhammer originating in Germany imigrating to America in 1855.
I have quite a bit of information, but only since Joseph Schurhammer and his wife Mary Magdeline Trichler arrived. Then there's a gap starting with confusion with two August Schurhammers and Arthur Schurhammers. The POMEROY lineage seems to have come out of no where...my great grandmothers name was Gladys Pomeroy (I believe her father's name was Leonard Pomeroy). She married the younger Arthur Schurhammer. I don't know how many people fill the gap.
There also seems to be confusion with Archibald Lee marrying a woman by the name of Phoebe, or perhaps Mary Phoebe. One of their children is believed to be named after her, but I'm having trouble finding anything solid on that as well.
Would love to exchange information with anyone else who is interested in the Schurhammer family name. I also have some information from Germany on this name. A lot of it is actually written in "old German" and I'm trying to have it translated, however, most of the people who know how to read "old German" have passed away. Anyone out there have this unusual gift?
