Hi, There were many Steinmetz's born in Fond Du Lac in the 1800's. If you go to the courthouse in Fond Du Lac and find a Peter Steinmetz born to Frank Joseph and Helena Ludwig Steinmetz, let me know Please (1855). I am also looking for a Marie Louise Steinmetz (Louiza). She may have married in Fond Du Lac to a German man around 1856-1858. You are not directly related to my Steinmetz side from Francois Joseph Steinmetz but you may be related to Hubert Steinmetz's line. Francois and Hubert were brothers. They both had many off spring. I will send your note on to Huberts side for there evaluation.......Becky
