Re: SCHMIDT Carl P.J. / OBERTRICE Margareth Julia; DEU>USA; 1877- Dear Margaret: You will have to search immigration records first, to get a point of departure in Germany. I would also check into the name Obertrice, this name has been anglizized in America. The first silbel Ober is OK but trice could have been treiss in German, which would make the original name OBERTREISS, but that is just a speculation of mine. Good Luck Roger M.
