Looking for Schopeck family 1860...please help

I am searching for the Schopeck (it might be Skopeck, Schobeck, Skobeck, or some other variation close to this) family in the 1860 census. Family stories say they were in Fond du Lac, WI. There was a daughter b. 1860 (not sure what month, so she may not be included in the census) and she indicates WI as birth location on later census info. Her name is Lena (might be Lenor or something close to that...and that may be a nickname).

Mom's name is Elizabeth (b. 1816 Bohemia). Elizabeth has at least 2 other children: Theresa (I've seen MANY different variations: Tracy, Thressa, Teresia, etc) b. 1846 Bohemia. and Frank (he's in St. Louis in 1860, so would not be listed with them).

In 1870, the family has moved up to LeSeuer, MN and is running a hotel (Theresa married Frank Erlhoff by then). They must have spent a brief time in Chicago, because that's where Theresa married Frank. I don't know anything about a husband for Elizabeth, but obviously he's around when Lena's conceived, and he d. before 1870. My guess is that he d. in WI.

PLEASE PLEASE someone help me find this family.

I have found a NY Passenger List that might be them. There are so many things that are close, but it doesn't all match up. I'd be happy to share this info.

Email dianak@hotmail.com Thanks.
Diana
