Hello,
I am searching for the following early immigrants to farms near "Freemont/Ohio" and "6 miles away from old
Sandusky"(1850). The families immigrated 1847-1848 and settled first near "Lower-Sandusky". Some worked in
Sandusky (the Schmitz brothers.

Their names are:

1.Eva Schmitz, nee Bartzen, died in Sandusky 08.09.1848 and was buried in a non catholic cemetary there.

2.Her brother Bartzen, died there in September 1848, too

3. her children: Johann (=John) Schmitz, born 04.08.1825

Anton Schmitz, born 25.01.1828

and her child

Elisabeth Schmitz, born 14.11.1823, she married to

Johann (John) Meyer, born 05.12.1811.

They had the following children:

Anna Meyer, born 28.01.1843

Eva Meyer, born 25.07.1844

Maria Meyer, born 01.10.1846

ALL THESE PEOPLE WHERE BORN IN GERMANY (Prussia). They emigrated from there in 1847/1848

and settled down near Sandusky/OHIO. I know that the Meyer family had a 180-Acres farm 6 miles from old

Sandusky-city.

Who can help me to find more abouut them ? I do live in Germany and do have no contacts to this region in the

USA.

sincerely
