Other Bavarian Relatives

My interest in researching the other Schuetz families is to find leads as to how the Conrad Schuetz family may be related to Barbara (Kraus) Kirmse.
Conrad Schuetz was apparently the first of the Schuetz men to immigrate to Perry County, Missouri.
First Marriage
The earliest record found for Conrad Schuetz was his marriage to Anna Barbara Wiessel. (See Chapter: Conrad Schuetz – Immigration for ship manifests showing his possible arrival times.)

Discussion
- Conrad was born at Hutschdorf, Bavaria – the same birthplace as Barbara (Kraus) Kirmse and her sister Margaretha (Kraus) Schuetz (See Chapter Hutschdorf Letter).
- Both George Schuetz and his daughter Anna are also listed in the Salem, Perry County enumeration district. George appears to be living with the Conrad Schuetz family and George’s daughter Anna is apparently living with a neighbor family.
- Conrad Schuetz and Julius Kirmse both enrolled (August 9, 1862) in Perry County, Missouri and were ordered (April 23, 1863) into service in Company C of the 64th Regiment of the E.M.M. under Captain Ochs. They were comrades in arms hence they very likely knew each other by 1862.
- George Schuetz appears to have lived with the Conrad Schuetz family after his wife, Margaretha, died – according to the 1876 Missouri Census.
Future Research
No definite family link between Conrad Schuetz and the Barbara (Kraus) Kirmse has been established. However, there were personal connections and suggestions that Conrad Schuetz had close and possible family ties with George Schuetz. The Hutschdorf parish church records should be consulted for more definitive family connections.
