My gg-grandfather Peter Smith (changed from Schmitt, Schmidt, Smidt??) and
his family lived in Bradford from the late 1870's until abt. 1893, when the
family moved to Washington Co., PA., but alot of the children should have
married in Bradford, as they are not in the 1900 census, but wife stated she
had 11 children and 9 were living, and I can only find information on 3 of
the children. Family info. is below, but if anyone has a connection to any
of the other surnames please contact me this family is my brick-wall.
