Schmidt ()Notes:
It is possible that the Schmidt family moved to Plauen; certainly Eduard Emil Schmidt and Ella Schmidt Stolzenberg (both born in Mülsen) lived in Plauen. A weaver named Christian (or Christoph) Friedrich Schmidt is documented in the Plauen address books of 1854 (Neundfr. Str. B 55), 1863 (Dobenaustr. B 94), 1870 (Hofer Str. E 108), 1874 (Hofer Str. E 108), 1877 (Hoferstr. 46), and 1881 (Rinnelb. 7). (It may be that Christian and Christoph are two different people, but they do not both appear in any one such address book.) A weaver Christoph Friedrich Schmidt became a citizen of Plauen on 18 May 1859, with his former residence listed as Leubnitz, but a date that may be his birthdate appears to read 29 Nov 1823 in Leubnitz, which would mean he is not the right Schmidt.
