The farm schedule 1860

Background: Peter & Angelique SAND, from Luxemburg, had a son they named Michael. Michael married Louisa Rausch, and their daughter Elizabeth became my grandmother Hesch ☺ Lucky her!

In 1858 or so, Peter & Angelique Sand's young family arrived in Iowa. (We know this cuz their fifth child, Anna, was born there). Here, in the 1860 census, you can see what he owned--COOL, huh?

In the first clip, Peter is the last line (#7) but in that second part, Peter is the second last line...
