If you are researching a Schmitt line connected to Posey or even Vanderburgh Counties I would like to hear from you. We have just found another connection in Posey to the Johann B. Schmitt/Mary Steibli line in Posey. As of last night we have this line back to 1649 in Schoenau, Alsace and estimate the parent born about 1628. This may be the end of this search as the 1649 birth was the first one recorded on the records. Also if some of you would like some practice on your Latin let me know. Some of these records could use verification in the translation, mainly to get relationships, occupations, titles, ect. What is used is medieval Latin and could also be termed as "very-eval" to read Latin. Interesting to have a German priest writing Latin in France. You could guess that some French words and German script letters would find their way into the records. If you have interest here contact me at my e-mail address. Gilbert
