I found Henry in numerous census records (transcriptions always suspect - but looks good) and I left messages for two people who are researching him and his family to contact you. One is in Colorado, the other in Missouri.. He was born 16 August 1842 Hanover, married 2 August 1872 in Lincoln, MO to Miss Maggie Park, died 20 December 1930 on Bellflower Road, Montgomery Co., MO apparently living with daughter Eliza and her husband Louie K. Ordelhide? In 1920 Henry and Margaret were living with Roger O'Leary, grandson, 13 (father from Ireland, mother from Missouri). His full name may be Henry Herman August Obersmith. He was naturalized - look for those papers, plus military, plus burial and church. Maggie had 7 children, 5 survived. You will need to find his village in Osnabrueck in his U.S. records - if the two people researching him don't already have it. Hope they do! Maureen In a message dated 6/1/2009 3:02:52 P.M.

The mother is Eliza Jane Lindemann and her son is Henry Herman Obersmith (here in the US). Henry was born in 1842 (in Germany) and in the 1850 US Census (Missouri) he was with Henry and Maria Lindemann. They are old enough to be his grandparents, but I don't know if they are. His mother had remarried and was having a baby that summer. Is anyone researching this line or have any information to help me in my search? I know very little else.
