Oak Street Evangelical Church

Oak Street Evangelical Church in Freeport, Illinois, USA. According to his obituary, my 3x great-grandfather, Gottlieb Schauer, attended this church after he migrated to Illinois in about 1870. He came from Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1848 and stayed for 5 years. He then lived in Reading, Pennsylvania for 15 years, before moving to Freeport, Illinois. #falknerjarrell #schauergenealogy #schauer #freeportillinois #illinois #familyhistory #genealogy #familyphotos #oldpostcard #rppc #realphotopostcard #illinoishistory #greatgreatgrandmother #19thcentury #freeportil #freeportillinois #greatgreatgreatgrandparents #greatgreatgreatgrandfather #birthplace #immigration #immigrant #nuertingen #nürtingen #badenwürttemberg #badenwuerttemberg #germany🇩🇪 #oakstreetevangelicalchurch #oldchurch
