I am searching for SMITH family arriving from Prussia about 1855
and settling in St. Joseph County. They were members of 1st Evangelical
Church of Mishawaka from 1876 on.
Christian & Amelia Smith arrived with two sons
son Theodore b. 1841 d. 1920 South Bend
son Julius b. 1852 d. 1948 Wymore, NE
Theodore's children, born in Mishawaka & North Liberty area
son Louis b. 1861 d. 1938
son Levi b. 1866
dau Nettie b. 1867
dau Emma b. 1868
dau Ella b. 1870
dau Cora b. Aft 1880
son Elmer b. Aft 1880
son Emery b. Aft 1880
WHAT I NEED:
1) I am aware Theodore may have living descendents in North Liberty and
would
like to contact them.
2) Where, when did Christian & Amelia live and die?
3) Theodore was married briefly to a Mary Oiler; I would like to know
what happened to
Mary (birth/death dates locations)?
I am descended from Louis and have information to share about him. I
also have recently
discovered Julius' descendents and can provide information on them.
