I am looking for information on the following people:
Heinrich Wille b. 1821 Mecklenburg, Germany d. 2/21/1897 USA
John Carl Meyer (went by Carl Meyer) b. October 13, 1838 Mecklenburg,
Germany d. 7/22/1912 USA
Elisabeth Wille b. 1852 Mecklenburg, Germany d. 10/8/1925 USA
All above are buried in the Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Clayton Center,
Clayton County, IA.
I believe I have found these three people on the Hamburg Passenger list
arriving in New York on May 4 1872 on the shipVandalia. Elisabeth is
listed as Elsie. The Wille family on Film A Page 456 and Carl Meyer on
Film A Page 447.
Also on this ship I have found Dora Wille, 40, Fr (Fredrich?) Wille, 6,
and Wilhelm Wille, 9.
The names match the naming pattern for my Meyer and Wille families and
the ages match the birth years I have.
How do I find the additional information which would be on the film? Or,
where do I find this film?
I would certainly appreciate any information anyone can supply me.
