Surnames: FALCK SCHMIDT FALK FAULK
Submitter: Dena Iverson ([email protected])
Date: 23 Aug 2002

Searching for any information on my gr grandparents.. John Falck, b: 1841 and Wilhelmina Schmidt b: 1843. They are listed in the 1870 Census of Randolph Co, Chester P.O. They were both immigrants from Germany,location unknown. Although on Wilhelmina's death record states she was from Nassau, Germany. They came to the USA in about 1864, married in McLean County, IL in March 1868. They had 11 children, Lydia, Ida, John, Mary Louise, Paulina, Olga, George Arthur, Emma, names of other children are unknown. Their marriage record shows Wilhelmina's name as Joanette E.P.W Schmidt. On some records John's surname is spelled Falk. Believe they lived only a short time in Randolph Co., as by the 1880 Census were residents of McLean County, IL. They probably lived in a German speaking community. By 1890 they had moved to Kansas City, KS. Think they may have come to the USA with other members of their family, and not alone. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who might help me locate some information on these people.

John Adams was born in Fountain Bluff Il abt 1857, son of Eligha Adams and Eliza Warren. My query is about the marriage of Eligha Adams and Eliza Warren and any documents of their lives in Randolph County. John married Isabella Franzia Drake on June 25, 1883. She is the daughter of Charley Drake and Julia Bradshaw. This is the second marriage of John Adams. If there is any information on his first marriage or any children or census reports from the era of 1850 thru 1890 that contain any information on any of these surnames. I will be happy to send money for time used on this query
