Hello Jamie,

My grandmother, June O'Gara replied to this post last year. She passed away this July so I am continuing the family history search.
I have down in my book that Louis Schmidt may have had the name William as well? And his wife was Maria Redig. They had a child named Elisabeth who was born in Germany in 1878 and died in 1933. Elisabeth married August Schmidt (which gets confusing!) who was also from Germany. Born 1876 and died in 1934. They had a daughter named Anna Schmidt who was born in 1908.
Have you found anything on Maria Redig or Louis Schmitt?
