Marylyn J. Seitzberg's family, traced back five recorded generations to Hamburg, Germany. Her marriage into the Schmidt family came one generation after the Bowland Line — she married Richard Dean Schmidt, son of Kenneth and Nellie (Bowland) Schmidt. This page will hold her own ancestry as that research develops. Richard's own life story — Kansas roots, WWII Navy service aboard USS Sumter, and their years together in Peoria — is written up on the Schmidt Line and the Sumter Log.
Marylyn was born in 1926 in Savanna, Illinois, and married Richard Dean Schmidt — son of Kenneth Schmidt and Nellie Florence Bowland (see the Bowland Line) — in Peoria in September 1950. She died in Peoria in 2011.
Floyd Hinsey Seitzberg married Elnora Maria Englemann in Cook County, Illinois, in 1920. The GEDCOM also lists at least one sibling of Marylyn's under variant spellings — "Robert C Saitzbarg" and "Robert Seitzburg" — not yet resolved as one person or two.
Charles Henry Seitzberg, born in Sabula, Iowa, in 1872, married Minnie King. No further detail recorded yet.
Parents of Charles Henry Seitzberg. No dates or places recorded yet.
Charles Von Seitzberg was born in 1818 in Hamburg, Germany, and married a woman recorded only as Christina Louisa — her maiden surname isn't in the GEDCOM. Given that his son Charles Henry was born in Iowa in 1872, the family's emigration from Hamburg likely falls somewhere in that 54-year window — a strong candidate for a ship manifest or naturalization search.
Father of Charles Von Seitzberg, and the earliest individual currently recorded on this line. No death date or further detail on file. The earliest edge of the known Seitzberg line.
Both Charles Von Seitzberg and his father Wilhelm Von Seitzberg carry a "Von" in the GEDCOM. Worth investigating rather than assuming — this could reflect genuine German nobility, or simply be how the name was recorded before later generations dropped it.
The family's move from Hamburg to Iowa is unconfirmed — somewhere between Charles Von Seitzberg's 1818 birth and his son's 1872 Iowa birth. No ship manifest or naturalization record located yet.
Wife of Charles Von Seitzberg — maiden name not recorded in the GEDCOM.
Two spelling variants appear as children of Floyd Hinsey Seitzberg and Elnora Englemann — unclear whether this is one sibling recorded twice or two separate siblings.
