Jo,
You can find more information on the Meyer families in the Eitzen area by going to http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=eitzenfamilies. The Jurgen Heinrich Christian Meyer born 11 Mar 1843 is my ancestor. Eitzen is right on the Iowa/Minnesota border, so people who lived in Iowa may have attended church in Minnesota. St. Luke's church in Eitzen has the church building in Minnesota and the parking lot in Iowa.
