Hello, List.
I am researching the name of Friedricka Merker, born 30 November
1816. Her tombstone in Minnesota indicates she was from
Groossenschnee bei Gcttingen. This person is my g, g, grandmother.
Her husband was Andreas R'hling, born 24 August 1818.
There were 5 children. Louisa R'hling, born 29 October 1845, possibly
in Prussia, is my g grandmother.
I have found no record of their passage to America. They, however,
settled on land in southern Minnesota about 1857.
Thanks to anyone who can provide some assistance.

Hello Ed,
One could presume that is a small town near Göttingen. I don't see it
in my Germany Roadatlas or on Mapquest.com. There are currently Merkers
living in Göttingen as listed below from the Germany phone book. The LDS
have many films for Göttingen.
