Schleuger and my acnestry goes back to 1737s in the Darmstadt area
Germany. The original spelling of our surname was Schleucher. Our
ancesters migrated to Norka, Russia in 1767 and then to the United States
in 1906. The attached files is the information that I have on the
descendants Darrold and both of his wives, Alpha and Marcella. I also
include the information on Marcella's first husband, Eugene Larson. I did
not include the information on Marcella's daugher, Shelia. Sheila is
currently reviewing and updating her information due to a number of name
spelling and date errors (most of her information was from my mother's
files which I received after she passed away). Additionally, I attached
Marcella's pedigree chart.
