The earliest Schmidt ancestors we know of in our family are August and Henrietta Anne Schmidt, who immigrated to the United States in the 1870s from Germany and settled in Philadelphia, PA. We are not certain of where in Germany they originated. From what some members of the family have told us (repeating German words they heard or that it was the beer-making area), we believe they were from either Prussia or Bavaria, though it is possible that there are roots in both areas, and it is also possible that they came from somewhere else.

After the links to other Schmidt Family pages and the Guest Book and e-mail link, you will find a descendant report for my Schmidt family.
