Friedrich Schlindwein

  General Notes:

First trace of name is in 1500 in the Palatinate area. The Schlindwein crest is not
real. The wine cup and fishing gaff come from the first
Schlindwein mayor of Karlsdorf denoting that the family made
wine and fished for a living. Most of the town of Karlsdorf
worked with the mayor's horses, thence the horse on the crest.
It was adopted by the local resturant and emblazons the front
wall there. It is most interesting that Frederich was a Blacksmith and was supposedly
the only one who could shoe the local Clydsdales and that Anna
Maria always spoke of coming from the Palatinate from Frankfurt am Main.

Friedrich married Anna Maria Dietrich on 24 Nov 1872 in New York City, NY.
