Hi; On 27 July 1869 a Carrie B. Schmidt was born in Tecumseh, Michigan. (according to her marriage record in Warren, Ohio). Her father a Frederick C. Schmidt born 07 March 1832 Kurhessen, Germany and mother a Caroline Maier born 15 Nov 1832 Marbach area of Wuerttemberg Germany . Carrie's siblings younger and older than she where all born in the Warren Ohio area. She is the only one born in Michigan. I am not sure of the reason and exact date after 1867 her mother and father had temporarlly moved to Michigan. I think very possibility to visit relatives and also possibly to obtain employment . He was always a factory type wood worker. They where noted back in the Warren, Ohio area on the 1870 Ohio Census . Questions; I have no idea where Frederick and Caroline where married at ? possible 11 January 1857? Is there a list to check for the area? Is there a Michigan Birth record available for Carrie ? I am looking for Relatives of Frederick C. Schmidt ? The 1900 census gives a possible Immigration date of about 1848 at about age 16. the birth date and place came from an old family records On some Ohio records and census he and family went as Frederick Smith. Also I am also looking for relatives of Caroline Maier, the 1900 census gives a possible immigration date of about 1854 for her the name of her father and mother;( from death certificate and her gravestone in Warren) was Christian and Fredericka Maier . I really know anything about the Maiers and if they ever changed the spelling of the last name. Thanks Dave Barberton, Ohio
