David I have visited with you before and you have relation around Rosemount, Warren Co., IA and my Jacob Schmitt/Schmidt/Smith received a land grant from the Mexican War at Bauer, Marion Co., IA. Do you have any information on Michael Schmidt that lived around Rosemount, Warren Co., IA? The information on passenter and immigration index and found on Ancestry.Com. This is the extension http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.d11?indiv=1&gsfn=Adam&gs... Do you know where I could find the pages they are referring to? I have a copy of a marriage from State Board of Health of Michael Schmidt who lived at Rosemount, Warren Co., IA age 31, born Allharliey, Germany (hard to read), Father George Schmidt, Mother Anna Ebbner, Bride Catherine Diffiuer (hard to read) Mothers maiden name Margaret Kessler. Married at Rosemount November 18 1884. I copied this from the records at Sacred Heart Church at Melcher/Dallas, IA. Sacred Heart has very few records. I have been looking for old records of Bauer Catholic Church. The oldest record I can find is about 1888, which I think you gave me. I know that Jacob Schmidt was buried at the Bauer Cemetery in 1863. There has to be records someplace. I have written the Davenport Diocese and also Georgetown and both say they don't have anything. If you have any information on Michael Schmidt, let me know. There is a Carl Schmidt family East of Knoxville, who was from Alsace Lorraine, France that is have been trying to connect but nothing. Thank you. Bev Jones Thank you for any help you can give me. Bev Jones David Endres wrote: > Bev: > > I am interested in your reference to: > > Rebah M.
