Catherine is the sister of my 3-gr.grandfather Anthony D. EMERINE. I was interested to find out where her family had moved to after the 1870 Census. Could this be the relation I am looking for? I cannot find a trace of Catherine SCHICHTEL in the 1880 Census. Could she have remarried? Thank you for any information ... :-) Jeannie
