I am trying to trace relatives of Max Silvia Schoeps born in 1855 in Kobylin former East Prussia. I think that his father's name was Adolph Schoeps and his mother was Sophie (probably nee Silvia) Max was a mining engineer who worked for the National Geographical Soceity. His work took him frequently to Accra Ghana. He emigrated to the UK sometime before 1892 when he married in London. If anyone has any links to this family or knows where I might search then I would be love to hear from you.
