Lisa,Do you have any info at all about where Friedrich came from? Where he ended up?
My greatgrandfather was Julius Schmitz, b. 1843,from Grüneberg, Kreis Arnswalde in Pommerania.For several years I have been searching for anyone else with that surname in that part of Prussia...Then last week I finally stumbled upon a Friedrich Gustav Schmitz, b. 1820, from Steinbusch, Kreis Arnswalde less than 10 miles from wher my ggfather grew up.The age difference is about right for Friedrich to be Julius' father or uncle.
Julius Schmitz married Pauline Gehler and migrated to WI in 1870.
If any of this sounds familiar, let me know...
