If anyone recognizes and has more information about any of the following family or individuals, I'd like to hear from you.

I am looking for family and descendants of:

Wilhelm Schmidt, wife unknown, born in Prussia circa 1840 and had the following children all born in Prussia:

Ernestine Schmidt born circa 1860
Amelia/Emilia Schmidt born circa 1872
Gustav/Gustaf Schmidt born circa 1874
Hulda Schmidt born circa 1880
Wilhelmina Schmidt born circa 1886

Family emigrated to USA late 1800s settling first in Northern Wisconsin and some resettled later in Illinois.

Looking for connections to the BONK, REISER, HEDELMAN, and LADER/LEDER families.

Thanks,

Tom Cuthbert

I have a Herman H. Schmidt born 1829 in Weida Grand Duchee of Weimer, Germany..died 1917 in Fayette Co., Illinois. He married Augusta Kuhlig (born 1854 Milwaukee,Wisconsin) They were at one time in Waukesha County, Wisconsin then later settled in Fayette County, Illinois. They had 11 children, two of which were born in Wisconsin. (Rudolph,Edward,Amelia,Anna,Max,Harmon,Herman,William,Frank,Louisa)

I have been unable to find relatives of Herman. Does this family look familiar?
