The Hartwig-Schmidtke Couple Migrates to Cleveland

Today’s birthday girl is Martha Wilhelmine Bertha Schmdtke, who, according to a transcription of her German baptism record below, was born on November 12, 1867. Bertha’s later gravestone says she was born on that date in 1868. Her death certificate says she was born on January 17, 1866. I happen to think that she was born in 1867 because a church record also uses that date. Bertha was the daughter of Friedrich and Wilhelmina (Nehm) Schmidtke. When Bertha came to America aboard the ship, Dresden, in 1892, she was said to be 24 years old. Her passenger list says she was from Konigsberg and headed towards Illinois.
