  Family History Researcher	Jay :Thanks for responding.I'm working all year on this to publish what I've found as a "surprise" f or the family, so would appreciate your discretion in keeping our exchang es private just for now. To date, I haven't found John on the 1870 census. By the 1880 he and h is family were living in Kansas. Johann was married to Justine Marie Hansen (b. 1832, Schleswig-Holstein ), but I have no date - they may have been married in Germany, maybe Wisco nsin. Two children born in Kansas, Dorothy Elizabeth in 1874 and Frank in 187 6. So John was in Wisconsin in October 1868 and farming in Kansas on or b efore January 1874, this much is documented.(Red herring: the family insisted that Dorothy was born in Germany so Jo hn and Justine must have been married there and crossed as a family. Wh en I found Dorothy's birth place, I tossed all other assumptions and start ed fresh.)In 1895 John moved farm and household to Brown County. Dorothy probably m arried while living in Wisconsin, but returned to Kansas. Frank definite ly married in Wisconsin and remained there.When John died, 1907, Justine went to live with her daughter in Kansas. Much of what I've found goes against family lore. Whether John actual ly had cousins in Hollandtown?, I'm thinking the answer might be fou nd in the records of Saint Francis.I haven't figured how you are related each surname of your database, b ut we have a multitude of family connections ; I found a few more yet aft er writing you earlier. StevenP.S. From my mother's side, I have the records of Zion-Wayside from found ing through early 1930s (working through these was bliss). If I can do a ny looking-up for you, don't hesitate. (Also one plat book circa 1950, th is you no doubt have; otherwise I have nothing but a wish list, very long. ) ---------------------------------------------------------- Jay, Thanks to your transcript, I was able to locate the grave of John Sch midt (b. 8 November 1835; d. 30 July 1907) and have browsed through your w eb pages on a number of visits. The information and links have often be en helpful. John was my great-great-grandfather ; I have all of his descendants and s omething of his biography, this was fairly easy But I'm not going to g et much farther until I solve the mystery of his nativity.I'm at some distance and not sure when research in Green Bay will be a pos sibility. For now, if I may, a few questions in the event you've run acro ss any of this information : Do you know more about John (Johann) from the records of Saint Francis ( or would you just happen to have his obituary :-) ?Do you know if or how he might be related to the other Schmidts buried ne ar him ? My great aunt, dead before I took an interest in any of this, be lieved he'd moved to Hollandtown from Kansas because "some cousins" were a lready living there. Too, his Declaration of Intent had been filed in Out agamie County (1868) before he settled in Kansas. Do you have a place of birth for the immigrants among your Schmidt s? If only the Provinz or Kreis, this would help to narrow research (as w ould his full name or middle initial :-). At this writing, all I kn ow is he'd been a citizen of Preußen. On slightest chance of all, would names Herman N. Schmidt (b. 1862) or h is cousin Albert Schmidt (about same age) appear as sibling or son to a ny member of Saint Francis or your database? Herman arrived in the U. S. in 1885 ; I have no dates for Albert ; neither married nor died in Wisc onsin, but other members of their families may have lived by Hollandtown. Any information you can provide would be helpful. If nothing, understo od and I'll hang patient until I can get to Brown County. Steven (C. W. Schmidt)
