Gary,

I am looking at your data in the SGGEE Master Pedigree database.   You 
are showing the oldest 3 Schmidt children not born in the USA.   Have 
you looked at their naturalization records to see where those documents 
indicate those children were born?

In the 1879 passenger list that you found for Caroline, where did it say 
she was coming from?

In the 1892 entry records that you found, where did it say that Amelia 
and Adolph and Carl came from?  

Do you have death records for any of the family members not born in the USA?

Have you tried looking at area histories for the area where August and 
Caroline settled in the USA?   There will sometimes be good accounts in 
such histories about where they came from.  

Have you tried looking at the Lutheran records in the USA where they 
settled?

In 1892 his widowed mother-in-law Amelia Welder (born 1833) and two brothers-in-law (Adolph and Carl Welder, both born 1874)) arrived. In the 1910 census, Mathilda Tessman was living with the family in Baltimore, she is listed as "cousin." There are two passenger arrivals for a Mathilda Tessmann, one in 1907 and one in 1908. Both were from Lubraniec (although a "last residence" was Farbusch, Russia).

Unfortunately, the combination of relatively common surnames and few geographic clues has resulted in little success. By the way, the district and province for Lubraniec were found on JewishGen ShtetlSeeker.
