I haven't written in a couple of days because I have been trying to edit our family tree. We are represented on RootsWeb.com but not completely. For example, Jacob Schmidt's daughter Rosalie Berg is listed on one version but not all of Jacob's brothers and sisters are listed.
There are 2 trees listed in RootsWeb.com. One is by a distant Schellenberg relative in Canada. And one is by a distant Gaede relative in Los Angeles.
I've been in touch with both men and they are very happy to "talk" to us.
We are in touch in some San Jose Hiebert relatives who do research as well.
Next blog is about the middle name mystery.
In 1917 Jacob Schmidt and Anna Thesman married. There are over 150 descendants from that marriage. But the story didn't start with Jake and Anna. It started hundreds of years before. This blog is meant to share stories that we have gathered over the past 35 years of family research. Please read it from the bottom up! Jacob's parents were Abraham Schmidt and Katharina Regier. Anna Thesman's parents were Heinrich H. Thesman and Sarah Jantzen. And that's just the beginning.....
