Searching for birthplace of Katharina Schemmel, Schilling, or Schennel. my GGGrandmother, who was Born 25 Feb 1835. (different spellings of Maiden name).
According to 1860 US census, she was from "Nassau" in Germany.
Father's name was Adam Schilling on Death Certificate in 1911
I suspect she was born in the Duchy of Nassau which was conquored by Prussia about the time she imigrated to Chicago. Later on, she listed her birthplace on subsequent US Censi as Darmstadt-Hesse.
She married Adam Dexheimer and imigrated to Chicago in 1854. Any leads will be most appreciated. Thanks
