Aloha List, About a year ago someone volunterred to to post all of the Schimmelpfenning/Schimmelpfenig/Schimmelpfennig they had seen in the 1900 census in Whiteside County. I believe there were 3. Is this still possible. I am hoping to find anything on this family. Have been only able to trace a Peter Schimmelpfenig. I know he had brothers - Henry, Fred or Ferdinand and a Charles or Carl. I know Fred married a Bertha RALEIGH, Henry a Lisie MAYBERRY and I do not think Charles married. For a year I have searched other lists and posted queries with no results on this Whiteside family. If anyone at all is able to look up this name I would be eternally gratefull. Thank you very much, Barbara
