[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Schmidt location?

[pnswork at aol.com]

Hi Dave,
 
    Try to find out where the husband (Michael Strefling)  was born.  Very 
likely, it was the same area as Dorothea.  I have a  few Schmidts in my 
family tree in Poland, but none of them match up with your  Dorothea.  If you 
can find a marriage record for Michael (second marriage  after Dorothea passed 
away), that might give his birthplace.  Men didn't  tend to stay widowers 
very long in those days.  They needed someone to look  after all the children 
and run the house.
 
Good luck!
 
    -Paul

All,
Thank you for all of your help and input with my  Schmidt "location"
question.
A special thanks to Irene König for showing  me how to see the original
images
via the Family Search pilot site, it  is a fantastic help. 
I guess that I am definitely ahead of where I was  before, now that I know
that
Dorothea Schmidt was born in Poland in  1823. On the downside there is no
clue
as to "where" in Poland and that  her surname is like the proverbial 
"Smith" 
in the New York City phone  book. Some progress is better than none at all!
