I seen some postings last week about the Smith/Schmidt name I have an ancestor that was born in Hesse...SOMEWHERE...Germany his name was listed as Theodore Schmidt on his marriage record in Durham England where he had went to at some point, I cannot find out who his parents are or what line he belongs to he was born Aprox. 1838 in the month of Oct. accroding to his testimony at his naturalization and on various census listing's. If anyone should have a Theodore fitting that description...what little there is... I would love to hear from you. Schannon
