This info comes from the 1880 US Census; 1.Gotleib Schmidt age 36, b.WI, parents b.Germany ************************************ 2.Mary Schmidt age 29, b.WI, parents b.Germany ********************* 3.Frank Schmidt age 13, b.WI ********************* 4.Mary Schmidt age 10, b.MN ****************** 5.Edward Schmidt age 9, b.MN ************* 6.Tilda Schmidt age 6, b.MN *********************** 7.William Schmidt age 4, b.MN **************** 8.Clara Schmidt age 2, b.MN ******************* 9.Pauly Schmidt age 1m, b.MN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mother Mary died shortly after this census. Frank married a girl from Grantsburg, WI and moved to Oregon. Edward and William later followed him out there and lived in Washington and Oregon. Edward married and had a daughter, but he died quite young. William lived around Walla Walla, Washington and spent time in Alaska. I don`t think William ever married. Mary went by the name May. May married Louis Roberts. May and Louis/Lewis lived in St. Paul Park, MN where they had four boys and a girl (names unknown). Tilda went by Tillie. Tillie married Benard Rohr(not sure of spelling). Tillie stayed in Minneapolis and had at least one daughter(Bernetta). Clara Married Joseph Andrew McLane, they lived there lives in the Twin Cities, MN. Clara and Joseph`s children are Lester Roy, Mildred Arlene, Lucille Helen, Joseph Edward, and Shyrle Emily(died as infant). Gotleib supposedly married again after Mary died and had a farm near Grantsburg, WI. Looking for any information on these families. Thanks
