Rudolf Gustav SOMMERFELD / Agnes G. WALZ.

I am searching for any information on Rudolf Gustav SOMMERFELD, born about 1868 in Birnbaum, Posen, Germany,
and immigrated to New York via Bremen on the the 'Salier' on 22 April 1886. He relocated to Pittsburgh about 1889
and married Agnes G. WALZ. In Pittsburgh he founded Sommerfeld Machine and one of the electricity generating
companies which later became Duquesene Light.

They had the following 6 children:

Margareth SOMMERFELD (7/1891),
Karl Eduard SOMMERFELD (3/1893),
Franz Herman SOMMERFELD (5/1896),
Agnes Linda SOMMERFELD (11/1897),
Elsie Katherine SOMMERFELD (1902),
Rudolf Gustav, Jr. SOMMERFELD (2/1904).

Any information, especially about his parents/relatives in Germany would be appreciated.
