Good luck to Sheryl looking for her "grain of truth "
In looking for my Schrader info - the only thing to be true was a hint on his death cert. in Sydney , that his father was a Policeman . It led me way back to Hannover [Osterode am harz ] - but as far as being exempt from Military Service in 1865-6 ....and being 7th son of a 7th son ----- wellll .Yvonne in Melbourne Australia.
