SCHULTZ COLLINS
Merlyn D. Schultz
Date: 5 May 2005
I am trying to locate source documentation of the marriage of Henry Schultz, b. 3 Aug 1879 in Hanover, Grey, Ontario CAN to Henrietta Collins, b. 31 Oct 1881, Wheatland, Cass, DT. FamilySearch.com reflects marriage date as 4 Nov 1902. These are my grandparents and I know they resided in Cass County because my father birth, 25 May 1905, was recorded as Gardner, ND. I am aware that the facility that maintained these records burned down. Also, the 1900 Federal census for Cass County, ND shows Henry Schultz, Age 20, in the family of Mary Schultz, widow. I am trying to find out the name of Mary's husband and if he died before or after Mary immigrated in 1888 from Canada. Also, what happened to Mary? Directly above Mary's family on the 1900 census is the family of John Schultz. I believe John was Mary's son, but have been unable to establish that link. I am a member of the Red River Valley Genealogical Society, S-109 and any help you can be in my search is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
