Wilson Jr FITZGERALD m. Amanda Augusta SMITH (of an unknown family - grrr!) They had Amanda Augusta FITZGERALD, and she married Clarence SCHMIECH, who is listed on the Social Security Death Index, thusly: CLARENCE SCHMIECH 11 Aug 1891 Dec 1973 08096 (Woodbury, Gloucester, NJ) (none specified) 090-10-7534 New York Who was he? I sought to find that out today. I believe I have a good deal of the answers. First, the 1900 Census and the 1910 Census for a Clarence SCHMIECH. This revealed: 1900 Camden 12-WD 2908 Cramer John G SCHMIECH Born 3/1858 Aged 42 M 20yrs married PA GER GER Lithographer Anna SCHMIECH Born 12/1863 Aged 38 M 20yrs married PA GER GER Emma SCHMIECH Born 11/1881 Aged 18 NJ PA PA Pen Stamper Ida SCHMIECH Born 4/1885 Aged 16 NJ PA PA At School Laura SCHMIECH Born 5/1889 Aged 12 NJ PA PA At School Clarence SCHMIECH Born 8/1892 Aged 8 NJ PA PA Now for 1910, he is listed as George. But that is not a surprise. Look at the middle initial for 1900... The others are the same. Now here I deviate just a bit. I don't automatically accept places of birth, as sometimes ethnic background is substituted - for instance, a fellow who is of Irish background, though born in NJ, may be listed as born IRE! And there are other errors. I believe such may be the situation here... There is only *one* SCHMIECH listed in the entire US for 1880!!! And here it is: Elisabetha SCHMIECH Self W Female W 52 BADEN Keeping House BADEN BADEN John SCHMIECH Son S Male W 23 NY Farmer WURT BADEN Stephen SCHMIECH Son S Male W 21 NY Farmer WURT BADEN John BETZ Other S Male W 17 NY Servant BADEN IREL Newtown, Queens, New York City-Greater, New York Family History Library Film 1254919 NA Film Number T9-0919 Page Number 239B I believe John listed here is John, the father of Clarence. So there you have my discoveries for today for the Camden surname SCHMIECH. Vince Summers
