Schonder Family Researchers

As of this writing, all Schonder's (about 50) in the United States today have links to the small town of Bischofsheim a.d. Rhone Germany. The -50 Schonder's in the US are all descendants

of 6 Schonder couples who immigrated from Bischofsheim. There are only 50 Schonder's listed in Germany today with only one Schonder family still living in the town of Bischofsheim.

Descendants of Maximillian Schonder
settled in Erie, PA
Max had a son Herman who is in his 80's Herman's parents divorced when he was young. His father Max later returned to Bischofsheim where he married his long lost sweetheart. Max died in Bischofsheim.
Since Herman can only remember his father, we have made no other connections to current Schonder families at this time. I spoke to Herman Schonder on the phone and he relayed a few family stories and interesting hobbies.
