Henry Cobernuss appears in the Detroit Directory until the early 1900's. No subsequent record of Wilhelm. Christian's Family lived very close to Frederick J. Cobernuss. Friedrick had same profession - dairyman as Christian. A William Cobernus (1894-1943) shows up in Michigan Social Security data. Grandson of either Christian or Friedrick? Henry, born 1860, traveled with Christian on the Lessing. His marriage record said his father was "Fred" Cobernuss. This probably refers to Frederich Carl Ludwig (Kummernuss) Cobernuss born 1822 probably in Suckow. This is probably Frederich Cobernuss who traveled on the Allemania in 1871.
