George SCHMIDT is too young to be Charley's father, so has George adopted Charley VOGEL? Emila was born before George & Mina were married; and, as there's no sign of a prior marriage for George, Emila is presumably Mathias STRAUB's last child. Either that or Emila is Mathias's daughter, Amalia, who should be 18, not 8, and the enumerator has got her age waaaay off. Or… George's age is off, he did have a prior marriage (off somewhere else), and Charley and Emila are his children!
