Daniel Berschauer, a sackcloth weaver (Sackleinenweber), his wife Katharina Margaretha, and son Daniel are recorded on the 1767 census of Kratzke in Household No. 4. They had arrived in Kratzke on 7 August 1766.
Daniel Berschauer and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Kratzke in Household No. Kr14.
The surname is erroneously recorded as Burgardt on the 1767 census as well as the 1798 census. However, thereafter, the children of this family are recorded clearly as Berschauer.
The 1767 census records that Daniel Berschauer came from the German city of Berlin in Prussia.
