"I'm researching the SCHNEIDER/SEIGLAFF/SCHELLIN branches of the family ... I do know that one Augusta Kraatz b. 10 Mar 1831 in Pommern, Germany, married FERDINAND SCHNEIDER ... They settled in Wisconsin - mostly Milwaukee."
I've indexed family death notices for a Ferdinand Schneider (72 yrs., d. 1890), survived by Augusta.
There are about 140 Kraatz; 1,350 Schneider; 45 Schellin; and 35 Sieglaff (but no Seiglaff) entries indexed in the local resource "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950).
Indexing Milwaukee's German newspapers since 2007 ...
