I have put together some information on these surnames and believe them to
be a group of families that are all related. This information comes from
the 1860 Census for Madison Twp., Allen Co., IN and all of these families
live within a few doors of each other. I would be very interested to speak
to anyone who has knowledge of these families to see if we can collaborate
and find out how they might be related. It is too much of a coincidence for
them all to have such similar names, all heads of family born in
Germany-Prussia, and living within close proximity to each other and not be
related to each other. I will gladly share/swap data with anyone interested
in working on this with me. My line is the one with John SCHUCKMAN and
(I think) his mother Catherine. John has a brother, Philip Schuckman who is
my g.g.grandfather.
