Thank you for your response. From 1900 US census records and family
knowledge, the younger Johann was known in America as John Jacob Meyer, and
later as J. John Meyer. He grew up in Iowa, so I assume that is where his
parents emigrated to, although the emigration records I have (Germans to
America 1850-1874) CD indicated the younger Johann was headed to Illinois.
I am currently in Florida, and will return to my home in Rochester, NY in
late April. Then I will try to access the Mormon church records, which might
list the name of the ship from Bremen.
Thanks again! Ron
