[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Schmidtke of Chelm, Poland, Russia

[Charlotte Gorley]

Mhairi and all,

My great-grandmother's name was Henretha (or Henrietta) Bertha Schmidtke.
I've also seen it spelled Schmidtkey and Schmidt.  She was born April 16,
1861 in Poland.  Today was her birthday.  What a gift it would be to find
relatives, or others who were searching this family line.

I'm told she had two brothers, Michael and Daniel, who stayed in the old
country.  Henrietta came to Canada in 1903 with her husband and family.
They settled in Saskatchewan.  She died in Melville Saskatchewan in 1948.

Does her name, or her brothers' names appear in any records?

Charlotte

Juliane Schmidtke, born Feb 2, 1878 in Chelm, Province of Poland, Russia

Father Heinrich Schmidtke, mother Justina Winkler

She married my grandfather in Gretna, Manitoba, Canada on May 13, 1908.  At
that time she was a widow called Juliane Fuhl (nee Schmidtke), and had a
daughter Emma born Aug 25, 1902.

The only other record I can find of her is the 1916 Manitoba, Canada census.
On this census it says she immigrated in 1907 as did her daughter Emma.

I have exhausted all avenues in Canada and can find nothing further about
her.

I am looking for any information that may be available on the German
Genealogy in Eastern Europe, so far my searches have come up empty, and I am
at a loss as to how to go about 

finding any information.
