Stefan Godo Family in Michigan

Surnames: Godo, Scheer, Walter
I am interested in locating any descendants of Stefan Godo, (born 1880 in Hungary) who worked a farm outside of Detroit, Michigan in the early 1900s. I have a reason to believe that his first wife, mother of Stefan Jr. is related to me. I do not know her name. She was killed by a kick from a large farm animal in 1911 or 1912. I think a baby in her arms was also killed. For some reason the son Stefan, was not here at the time and later he was accompanied by his Aunt in 1912 from Varjas, Hungary to Michigan to be with his father. I think this Aunt, Magda Walter might be my Great grandmother.

This family also had ties to a Mohus Family, Roberts, and Wideman families trhough marriage or ?.

Apparently Istvan/Stefan/Stephen Godo tried to sell his two youngest children after his wife was killed. It was all over the news in the upper midwest in the upper midwest in January 1914. I believe he had two sons(or a son and a nephew)named Steve. He also had a daughter named Margaret. She married Joseph Roberts. The one Steve married a woman named Mary Wideman.

He was apprently unsuccessful in the selling of his children as they were still with in in the 1920 census.

Steve Godo Sr. had a brother named Emory (Emry) and one named Loyd.

His first wife is extremely likely to be my great grandmothers sister.

thx.
