I am looking for information regarding the Detmer family from Melle, Germany. William Detmer, Sr. was born in 1809 but I don't know where. I have no information about his son, William, Jr. But I believe William Jr.'s son, (first name I don't know) was born in 1860 in Melle and immigrated to the United States.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
B. Detmer
