Caroline was born June 5, 1874 in Oppenweiler, Germany. My grandmother's brother, John Schick was born on May 8, 1873, in Reichenberg, an adjoining village to Oppenweiler. Evidently he settled in Bayard,Iowa around 1900. I am interested in obtaining any family information for both of these families. If you have any info please send me an email as I may not find my way back here. Thanks in advance Harold
