Welcome to the Schmidt Family Tree

Creating this Family Tree was a journey that started in 1992 and is forever ongoing.
The starting point was an old Family Tree which was given as a birthday gift to Hugo Schmidt in 1899-Sept-28 My objective has been to find all men and women from Jacob Schmidt dä to modern times. It has been an interesting time

• Schmidt & Co HAB and its ownership to Karmansbo Lancashire forge 1812-1818 and 4 ships before their bankruptcy in 1818
• Axel Wilhelm Schmidt who participated in the Napoleon war 1813 and in the 3 weeks "campaign" when Sweden took Norway in 1814

• Maria Elisabeth Carolina Schalén 1817--1911, a strong woman who fostered a generation of children and grandchildren
