Hi Veldora:
I have seven items:
1. You list the birth places as "Hanover, Stadt Hanover" I believe
that means they came from the City of Hannover. Can someone on the
list indicate if this is true or false. If it is true, it will narrow
Veldora's field of search.
2. Is Frederick's death date 1938 instead of 1838?
3. For the surname Boettcher, when searching in German records also
keep in mind Böttcher.
4. Once again, a question for the list. Is Meta a short or nickname?
5. When did they come to the States?
6. Were they married before or after coming to the States?
7. Did they have any relatives come to the States? Sometimes it is
easier to trace relatives.
Good luck,
Gale
Hi gale:
2. Date of death was 1938, typing error..
3. I just found that Meta's father was Casten Heinrich Botjer from Leeste, Sieke, Kingdom of Hanover. Spelling
changed to Boettcher in USA.
4. Meta (Martha) Boettcher was her name according to a relatives records.
5. Arrived in USA 26 Nov 1859 in New Orleans on the ship Edmund.
6. Married 2 July 1877 in Missouri, USA.
7. I have a list of Meta's sisters and brothers. None for Frederick Albert Seba who was my great grandfather.
Thank you for you help.
