Schmidt-14882 and Schmitt-5597 appear to represent the same person because: same parents; birth information similar, death info identical. Last name at birth should be Schmitt. Merge as soon as the parents of both profiles have been merged.

It appears Anna Maria's last name at birth was Schmitt, not Schmidt. So far, there are only three records found with her last name before she was married: her baptismal record says "Schmitt", as does the ship's manifest when her family arrived in America. At her marriage in Indiana, "Smith" was used. "Schmitt" is also used on the baptism records for all of her siblings, and on her father's marriage record. Suggest changing her last name at birth to "Schmitt".
