Christian Schulle, born 1862 was not named as a Junior, his father Christian Friederich named the second son born 1861 Frederich Christian, which also was not called Junior. Frederich Christian died in 1862 before the third son was born, who was then named "just" Christian. For identification purposes, Christian was called Junior on occasion. For instance, both Christian the father and Christian the son, applied for their naturalization at the same time in Caldwell County. Their applications were confused and show only one acquired their papers.

Christian and his twin sister, Friederike were the first set of twins born to Christian and Dorthea Schulle. When these twins were eleven years of age, there was another set of twins born to the family. At the age of twenty-one, he came alone to America. Some of his family have said he was a stow-away, however, his name is on the ship "Nuernberg" as it left Germany for Castle Gardens Port, New York. No record can be found of his transportation from New York after arriving there in 1883, so he may have hidden away on a ship around to Galveston Port.

He is first shown in America at the time of his marriage to Louise Pieper January 4, 1890, daughter of Henry and Louise Pieper.

Christian did not apply for his Naturalization papers when he first came to America, but applied as was shown in Comal County Courthouse #233531, March 25, 1912. His brother Henry's naturalization request was 5 numbers higher, so it can be assumed they both applied in Texas at the same time.

Christian and Louise celebrated their Golden Wedding surrounded by a large family of three generations from their two daughters. The only son died young, it is said, from WW 1 injuries.
