According to the 1900 census my ggf Christian Schroder and wife Wilhemina Van De Myer lived on Friend St in Adams Ma with their dau Sophia (born April 1879) and son August (born 1884 my grandfather). Their son Christian (born Sep 1870 Ma) lived on Beech St in Adams,with his wife Mary Grant (born Oct 1866 Ma) and children Christian (born Jul 1892) Irene (born Feb 1897) Lillian (born Mar 1900) and Cortland (born 1903). I assume that all their children were born in Adams but I will not be able to confirm this until I visit Adams this fall. Does City of Adams have a city hall and records ? Does anyone know ? Another daughter Sena married a John Kempf and lived in Lansboro. They had two children John and Louise. The son John married Alice Brown and as near as can figure they lived in Pittsfield. John was born Feb 1 1891 and past away Nov 1971 at Pittsfield. Any info as to any living relatives would be appreciated. Oz in Nevada.
