Hi Hebron,
It's me again...
I checked the 1880 Adams Co, IN census and located Elizabeth Snyder and
Nicholas Minger, along with 4 children; including John.
All the children of Elizabeth and Nicholas were born in Switzerland except
the last one who was born in Indiana around 1874. The previous child was
born ca 1869 in Switzerland.
I checked the 1870 census and did not locate any of this family so I assume
they arrived in the US between 1870 & 1873-4
I haven't done much "out of the country" research so I can't help much
on
the parents.
However, since Nicholas was born in 1824 and if they didn't arrive in the
states until around 1873, then he would have been around 49 years of age.
This would make his parents at least in their late 60s so I doubt if they
were looking for that much adventure of crossing the Atlantic.
Sorry I couldn't be of much help. I'm still looking for the Schaefers.
